After selling Romelu Lukaku to Serie A giants Inter last summer, Manchester United took the rather surprising decision not to replace the Belgium international. Instead, they placed their trust and faith in the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood to share the goal-scoring burden.

Whilst the trio have performed relatively well on an individual basis - they have scored 19, 11 and nine times respectively this season - United as a whole have been misfiring. The Red Devils find themselves five points off the top four in the Premier League, written of by coral 2020 in the title race and could do potentially do with some proven reinforcements up front.

According to The Manchester Evening News, whilst Edinson Cavani won't leave French giants PSG this month, he is likely to make his exit in the summer. The report claims that United will be offered the chance to sign him on a free transfer, as his contract will have expired, and that a move is a "possibility".

After hearing about the situation surrounding Cavani, United fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the matter, with some urging the club to sign him up.

Some fans insisted that Cavani could bring them vital experience and depth to the centre-forward role, with one supporter in particular describing it as "invaluable".

A couple of supporters of the Manchester side introduced another striker into the conversation, suggesting RB Leipzig's Timo Werner to be the man they should go for instead.

Turning 33 next month, Cavani is certainly not entering the peak years of his footballing career. A swoop for the Uruguayan would largely revolve around him benefiting United in the here and now, as he will have very little sell-on value in the future.

But the striker has proven himself as a lethal goal-scorer in his time in Italy and France with both Napoli and PSG, scoring 104 and 198 times respectively. If the Red Devils could land him in the summer, they would instantly be adding a proven number nine to their ranks, and that could make all the difference when it matters most.
