It has been a couple of months since Romelu Lukaku swapped the Manchester United shirt for Inter Milan and so far he's been having a good time over in Serie A.

The big Belgian has already bagged ten goals in 13 league games and if these early signs are anything to go by, the Nerazzurri might have struck gold with his transfer from the Premier League.

The Red Devils, however, could sure do with a striker of his profile to lead their generally young squad and add some much-needed experience and know-how to the mix.

After all, they were bound to miss someone of Lukaku's stature, seeing how the now 26-year-old forward managed to net 42 goals and 13 assists in a total of 92 games played for the English side.

And interestingly enough, a recent report from ESPN stated the same thing - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants a well-developed and experienced name to lead the line alongside his talented youngsters.

Having the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood bodes well for their future but it feels like they also need someone for right here and now to get them out of their slump and back into the top region of the table.

Luckily for them, there's one man who simply ticks all the boxes and would be able to arrive either for free or on a big discount, seeing how his contract expires next summer already.

Of course, we are talking about none other than Edinson Cavani, the current Paris Saint-Germain forward who's recently fallen out of favour at Parc des Princes.

The 32-year-old has tallied only 431 minutes under his belt in the ongoing season, scoring two goals in seven Ligue 1 appearances but with the likes of Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Junior in the squad, the Uruguayan is bound to struggle for playtime moving forward as well.

But even though it feels like he's been made redundant in Thomas Tuchel's squad, that doesn't mean he's suddenly lost all of his ability.

Just last season, Cavani managed to bag 18 goals and five assists in Ligue 1 and averaged 2.5 shots and 0.6 key passes per game, even edging out Lukaku's 12 goals and 1.7 shots per game and only falling short to his 0.7 key passes per game.

By all standards, the man who can boast with nearly 300 games for the Saints with 195 goals scored is definitely someone who would bring both experience and proven goal-scoring prowess to the table.

That seems exactly what Manchester United need.

And have we mentioned that he'll be a free agent come next summer?

Pick up the phone, Woodward, and make the call. It'll be worth it.
