Manchester United have reportedly pinpointed Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani as a potential transfer target ahead of the January transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has demanded reinforcements going forward following a summer during which United dispensed with and failed to replace Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

Reports have stated that the Red Devils were closing in on signing Mario Mandzukic, who is said to be valued at £9m.

According to 90Min, United have also placed Cavani on a list of potential names as they prepare for the January transfer window.

The Uruguayan, now in his seventh campaign at the Parc des Princes, will be available for free in the summer if PSG do not renew his contract.

Other reports have claimed that Atletico Madrid, another side struggling for goals, view the striker as a key target ahead of the January window.
