(Reuters) – Manchester United have reached a two-year deal with former Paris St Germain forward Edinson Cavani, French daily L’Equipe reported on Saturday.
Uruguayan international Cavani is a free agent and left Ligue 1 champion PSG at the end of his contract in June.
The 33-year-old was deemed to have exceeded the requirements in the French capital, but finished as PSG’s all-time top scorer with 200 goals in more than 300 appearances across all competitions.
Cavani could offer United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer an experienced attacking option as they look to challenge on the national and European fronts this season.
United are also looking to cut their squad before the transfer window closes on Monday and midfielder Andreas Pereira joined Lazio on a one-season loan deal.
Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot has also been linked to a move to Serie A, with Italian media reporting that the full-back is about to complete a move on loan to AC Milan.
