Man Utd lead chase for PSG star

Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a club-record bid for the services of one of the best strikers from Ligue 1.

The new Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal has shown keen interest in strengthening the attack front this summer, following a dismal campaign for the club last season.

Uruguayan international Edinson Cavani has been constantly linked with a summer switch away from Paris Saint-Germain, and latest reports reveal that United are prepared to make a record bid worth £56m for the player's services during the current transfer window.

Les Parisiens president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had previously rejected any possibility of the star striker leaving the club.
