United to Break Bank for Cavanni

United to Break Bank for Cavanni

Manchester United have made a £56million
bid for Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson
Cavani, according to reports in Italy.
Daily newspaper Tuttosport report that
Cavani, who spent six years in Italy with
Palermo and Napoli, is top of new United
manager Louis van Gaal's wishlist.
The Uruguay striker, 27, only joined PSG last
summer for around £55m, but is said to be
unhappy in Paris at having to play second
fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Cavani spent much of last season playing out
wide to accommodate for PSG's No 1
superstar Ibrahimovic.
Van Gaal is planning an overhaul of United's
squad ahead of his first season at Old Trafford
but is yet to make a signing and insists he is
concentrating solely on his role at the World
Cup as Holland manager.
Sportsmail revealed United were interested in
Cavani as early as February but the striker is
thought to be unwilling to give up playing
Champions League football.
Cavani scored 25 goals in 43 games for PSG in
all competitions last season and will
spearhead Uruguay's attack against England
in the World Cup group stage later this
month.
