United to make pricey £50m bid

SG striker Edinson Cavani has caught the eye of Manchester United and they are reportedly lining up a £50m bid for the Uruguayan

Manchester United are preparing to out-do Chelsea and Manchester City with a whopping £50m bid for PSG forward Edinson Cavani.

The

club, who have struggled foir domestic form are supposedly targeting

'platinum players' this summer to bolster their squad, and manager David

Moyes hopes to have the signings dealt with before his future is

ratified.

United's chief executive Ed Woodward has been allowed to splash the cash in order to out-do their transfer rivals.

Cavani

is on the shortlist for a number of top European sides but United are

set to make his transfer their top priority and are even willing to

spend a heavy amount to assert their power. This is a result of the

Manchester United's owners, the Glazers, who are willing to inject £220m

of 'fresh transfer funds'.

However for any deal to be reached,

the wage deal also needs to be eased as aquiring Cavani would cost £50m

in transfer fees, along with around £300,000 a week, a similar wage to

that of Wayne Rooney.

If United sign Cavani, then they will be

ready to offload Robin van Persie, who hasn't lived up to his fantastic

scoring record of last season.

United will use their funding from

the Glazers to also buy defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Toni Kroos,

two players heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford
