Get me Cavani, Louis van Gaal tells Man United
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal wants to make Edinson Cavani the
Red Devils' new main man. The PSG forward, who scored against Chelsea on
Tuesday night, is seen as the ideal front man, while Radamel Falcao will
be offloaded.
On 16 July 2013, Cavani joined French champions Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year contract, for a fee believed to be around €64.5 million, making it the sixth largest transfer in history. The reported sum made Cavani the record signing in French football, breaking Radamel Falcao's €60 million move to AS Monaco earlier in the summer, and saw him link up with former Napoli teammate Ezequiel Lavezzi in Paris.
Cavani debuted for PSG on 9 August 2013, coming on as 72nd-minute substitute for Ezequiel Lavezzi in a league match against Montpellier. He started the following game on 18 August and scored his first goal for the club, a late equalizer against AC Ajaccio.
He scored his first Champions League goal for the club in their season opener against Olympiacos on 17 September He ended the group stage with four goals from five matches as PSG qualified with a 100% win record.
On 22 January 2014, Cavani scored his 20th goal of the season in PSG's 2–1 Coupe de France defeat at home to Montpellier. On 2 March, after missing a month of the season with a thigh injury, Cavani scored on his return to the team in a 2–0 win over Le Classique rivals Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes.
On 19 April 2014, he scored both goals for PSG as they beat Olympique Lyonnais 2–1 in the 2014 Coupe de la Ligue Final He finished his first season with 25 goals in 43 games across all competitions, including 16 in 30 league games.
