Louis Saha has urged his former club Manchester United to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani in the January transfer window.

The Red Devils have endured a relatively difficult start to the Premier League season, although they now sit sixth after their 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking to bwin, Saha said that he still feels that the club could do with a big signing to galvanise their attack and believes that Cavani fits the bill.

Saha said: "Manchester United are the Premier League team that need to strengthen the most in January and they should look at signing Edinson Cavani from PSG.

"They need to bring in players to challenge the existing players and create competition; Cavani would push Rashford and Martial and make them even better.

"Sir Alex [Ferguson] didn't like signing players in the January transfer window but times are different now; United need to strengthen sooner rather than later.

"I would love to see Cavani join the Premier League; he would be a great signing for Manchester United."

The 32-year-old Uruguayan international has scored two goals in 10 games for the French champions this season.
