Man Utd Transfers: 10 Strikers That Could Be Louis van Gaal's 'Secret Signing'

3. Edinson Cavani (PSG)

I've always wanted to see Edinson Cavani in the Premier League. He is built like a Spartan god but has the finesse and flair of Gorgo (The Spartan Queen). The Uruguayan striker scored 31 goals for Paris Saint-Germain last season and six in the Champions League yet I believe there is more to come from the 28-year-old. Constantly played as second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, (Or Luis Suarez at International level) Cavani looked uncomfortable playing for the French Champions and is yet to demonstrate the fierce ability he showcased during his time at Napoli. 21 times Laurent Blanc played him on one of the flanks and it simply doesn't suit the striker's overall game. The PSG striker would offer Louis van Gaal clinical finishing, excellent hold up play and an aerial presence if used correctly.
