Manchester United remain keen on striker Edinson Cavani and are considering a summer swoop for the player, according to reports.
.
The Daily Mail claims the Red Devils continue to look at strikers, amidst doubts over the long-term futures of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.
.
And, they have highlighted the PSG forward as a potential option at the end of the season.
.
Competition is likely to be fierce for the Uruguayan international though, with reports last month claiming Chelsea are also interested in the player – who will cost in the region of £54.3million.
.
David Moyes’ concerns over Van Persie relate to his fitness, whilst Rooney’s contract situation with Manchester United is ‘bleak’, according to the paper.
.
Cavani would certainly add a superstar element at Old Trafford if Moyes could land the player, although securing Champions League football is sure to be pivotal if the Red Devils are to land the player.
.
His arrival would also appease Manchester United fans, currently frustrated at their team’s lack of activity in the transfer window.
.
Chelsea are the one team who have been active in the transfer window, bringing Nemanja Matic back to Stamford Bridge from Benfica.
.
And, whilst the Blues have plenty of options up-front with Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba, none of the trio have managed to make the position their own.
.
Cavani would certainly throw the cat amongst the pigeons at Chelsea, but it’ll cost a club record fee to bring him to west London.
