Man United Prepare Record Breaking £50million Edinson Cavani Bid As Wayne Rooney Doubts Remain
Edinson Cavani |
Manchester United are making a record-breaking £50million move for Edinson Cavani. New United boss David Moyes wants to sign the Uruguay striker from Rafa Benitez’s Napoli. But the Scot faces competition from Real Madrid and Chelsea. And news of the bid will raise even more question marks over Wayne Rooney’s future at Old Trafford.
Cavani’s
powerful style looks ideal for the Premier League. Moyes is keen to
play two men up front and Cavani would make a perfect partner for Robin
van Persie. The South American – strong with an eye for goal – has
similar attributes to Rooney, whose relationship with United is still
strained.
Napoli are ready to cash in on Cavani, 26, and are now
sitting on several mega-bids. No club has matched his £54m release
clause, but he could go for slightly less. United’s owners, the Glazer
family, are ready to back Moyes, who is also closing in on Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
Andre Villas-Boas believes United have lost their fear factor without
Sir Alex Ferguson. The Spurs boss said: “The aura Sir Alex had, David
Moyes does not have. This could influence the players.”
