He would be backup to Martial and Ighalo leaves in Jan. Would much prefer this then spending 40mil on Joshua King or someone similar.
Edinson Cavani - SIGNED for United

Not good enough for PSG, apparently that means he’s good enough for United! Jeez some fans are off their rockers...
If we have those kind of wages to throw around, there has to be better things we can be doing with that money.
huge wages on a back up striker, no thanks
Plus I dont think cavani would be happy being used as a sub player like Ighalo.
Ffs, Woodward being Woodward again. We need reinforcements all over the pitch so he signs a knackered South American with no knees.
Would take Jovic. Cavani? No thanks.
Wouldn't mind him on loan but we seem to just do things in the market. We needed genuinely excellent players to take us up a level or two this summer, not stop gap solutions to help us just about manage 4th.
Oh I'm just accustomed to our shit planning now. I come to expect it.
Seemingly not.Will we ever learn?
Two months ago: “Sancho, Greenwood, Rashford....gonna have England’s front line for the next decade”
Now: “Do Cavani’s knees rattle when he runs?”
Realistically he’s finished at the top level, albeit his movement and finishing would be the best at the club
Both would good short term signings.
Pathetic if this is the best we can do. This club, deary me
Can't you appreciate that one must walk before they fly? This is a long term project, and money, unfortunately, happens to be in short supply. I can imagine that the plan is to make the big money signing, Sancho, and paper over the cracks till next season when other positions can be addressed with more conviction.
For a year? It think it's smart business, that way if he doesn't work out we're not struggling to get rid of him.
If Cavani isn't going to be happy playing a lesser role then he won't join, if he does join then he'll know exactly what role he's going to be playing. If he thinks he can oust Martial then that's even better, it'll stop Martial getting too comfortable. We can't just never sign a player over 30 ever again, Cavani's got a wealth of experience that we've been lacking since Ibrahimovic left, Martial could learn a lot from having someone like Cavani in the side.
Yeah my thoughts too. There is still a seriously good player in Jovic, just needs his confidence.
Cavani is the exact opposite of a transfer that we've been going for under Ole typically so I'm calling absolute BS. His age and fitness record is a huge risk even on a free as his wages will be ridiculous. He would have been a Jose signing for sure though.
Oh and doesn't Romano work for Di Marzio too? <runs away before the backlash comes>

Pretty pathetic how easily our fanbase is riled up over obviously-fake stories.
Firstly. feck yes he would be a brilliant option to have for us.
Has experience, a great mentality, brilliant movement and a selfless player. Height and physicality on paper for Telles would be so great knocking balls into him too.
That said, does Di Marzio say he's in talks with us? He just tagged us randomly.

Agreed.
Ole so far has gone for home grown players or players from abroad who still have improvement potential. Signing a 34yr old with dodgy knees on huge wages doesn't sound like an Ole type deal does it?
But let's remember guys this is Di Marzio. Romano's boss. They don't make stuff up right? <runs away again>
Has BS story written all over it. But in the real world, if he halves his wages like Suarez did, and accepts he'll be nothing more than a back up (he's close to retirement so can't imagine he'll expect different), might be a great signing for striker back up. The Milik pursuit (another BS story?) would be the much more rational/sensible approach though.
There's only a month's difference in age between him and Jamie Vardy
I'd be happy if we got Cavani on a short term deal given the options we have upfront.
We're gonna see a lot of made-up stories the next few days till the window closes.
and I know which one I'd rather have, and it's Vardy by a long distance, which is a mad thing to say, but its no contest for me.
Poundland Ibra signing after the real thing.
I’m sure in his own mind he’ll believe he’s still undoubtably a better striker and goal scorer than Martial
I call a severe case of bollicks in regards to this "link"
I'd be all over having a new striker to come in and challenge Martial, but it isn't this chap.

Wanted him, saw his injury record and its very poor.
For the wages he will demand, his injury record this won't end well.

Silly signing. We might as well go for Diego Costa if we want such a striker. At least his knees aren’t fecked and he knows the PL
Cavani's issue has been staying fit over the last couple seasons, but he's still a very good player when healthy. Obviously, that's a huge question mark (fitness). That being said, I don't see a big risk in signing Cavani on a 1 + 1 deal (2nd year team option). He could be a great backup and potentially even a really good starter.
Ighalo may as well head to Dubai on a long holiday if this happens.
How good is Cavani these days? I thought I'd heard his performances had fallen off a cliff for PSG.
If he could come here and play a similar sort of role as Giroud does for Chelsea I wouldn't be against it. Ighalo has outlived his purpose.

Same here. Could be more possible to go after Jović and unlock his potential. It's definitely sounds more like Ole's way in United.
Would absolutely love Jovic here. Despite his struggles at Madrid, I think he's going to be a star for a big team, has a lot of talent.
Honestly we need an actual striker.
They both fit that criteria don't they
I'd take Jovic. No shame in things not working out at Real - it's happened to better players who went on to have fantastic careers.
Cavani is finished though.

We do need a striker with killer instincts. And a good backup for Martial or rashford
Much rather take a punt on him than Cavani. I thought those days were over for us. A washed up striker with chronic knee problems on huge wages. What could go wrong?
But then Jovic needs to play not sit on somebody else's bench surely? So I'm not sure I believe any of it.
