We had to bring this one to your attention – if for no other reason than to enliven was has been a pretty damp squib of a transfer window for Manchester United so far.
With no permanent additions there is still time and still hope that Louis van Gaal will make another foray into the market to give a more ruthless edge to the attack and to give the team a more realistic prospect of taking a league title that no one seems to want to win right now.
10 wins on the bounce would probably do it and how much easier would that feat would be if Wayne Rooney was tucked in behind Edinson Cavani?
The Uruguay striker is clearly unsettled at PSG with his boss, Laurent Blanc, saying this month:
‘There is a problem with Cavani’s behaviour but my job is to think of the entire squad as a collective,’ said Blanc.
‘I believe that he can score here but I understand if he wants to consider other career opportunities.’
We think that this one is a gift-horse which Manchester United can ill-afford to stare in the face. Despite his problems at PSG he has still hit regular goals this season (13 in 24) and The Independent has reported this afternoon that Bet Victor has slashed the odds on him signing for the Old Trafford outfit this month. They say:
The odds of Edinson Cavani joining Manchester United have been drastically slashed, leading to a belief that with 13 days remaining of the January transfer window, a marquee signing could arrive at Old Trafford.
Having been at 10/1 to join Manchester United, the odds have moved to 2/1 with bookmakers BetVictor.
Cavani is a master marksman in the modern game. He guarantees goals in the same way that Jose Mourinho guarantee points and both would surely be welcome additions at Old Trafford.
Let’s see some Cavani magic.
Manchester United fans: a deal worth doing?
