Man United want Mauro Icardi to replace Edinson Cavani

Manchester United are looking at Paris Saint-Germain forward Mauro Icardi to replace Edinson Cavani this summer, according to a report.

The Red Devils are preparing a bid to sign PSG striker Mauro Icardi as a replacement for Edinson Cavani at the end of the 2020-21 Premier League season.

According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport, as quoted by TEAMtalk, is reporting that the Mancunian giants are looking to sign a new frontman ahead of Cavani’s potential departure at the end of the season.

The Uruguayan could leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.

United are looking at the future with regards to their attack irrespective of Cavani’s decision at the age of 34.

The 20-time English champions are looking at potential alternatives to Erling Braut Haaland given competition is so fierce for the 20-year-old Norwegian.

The report goes on to claim that Man United wouldn’t have any problems meeting PSG’s asking price of between €30m and €40m.

Icardi has chipped in with 27 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions over the past two seasons at Parc des Princes.
