Report: Manchester United confident of landing Edinson Cavani

Manchester United are planning a £60m move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani this summer, according to reports.

The Uruguayan is reportedly unsettled in France, while United are said to be chasing a new striker this summer.

The Daily Star says that manager Louis van Gaal will send on-loan striker Radamel Falcao back to his parent club, Monaco, and will move for Cavani.

A source told the paper: "Edinson Cavani has been targeted as the big-name striker the club wants and United are confident of pulling it off. He has not settled in Paris and is looking for anew challenge at another big club, so United fit the bill."

United face Preston North End in the FA Cup on Monday.
