Man Utd finance chiefs see Cavani as better business than Falcao

Manchester United remain in the hunt for unsettled PSG striker Edinson Cavani.L'Equipe says Cavani remains unhappy at PSG, despite insisting publicly this week that he was prepared to see out his contract to 2018.

United see the Uruguayan as a replacement for on-loan AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao this summer.

It's claimed with PSG seeking €56 million for Cavani, over €10 million less than what Monaco are demanding for Falcao, United's money men see the Uruguayan as a better deal.

For his part, United boss Louis van Gaal views a top class centre-forward as crucial to his system and admits the jury is out over Falcao's long-term prospects.
