Fitting Edinson Cavani into Manchester United’s side.
Another world class centre forward may not have been at the top of everyone’s list of expected Manchester United targets for January – but reports from the Express suggest that manager Louis van Gaal wants the Uruguayan and sees him as a part of his Old Trafford team.

If van Gaal did go through with a move for Cavani, however, this is how the United team could shape up:
GK) David de Gea
One of the best around, as he proved in the weekend win over Everton.
RB) Rafael da Silva
Is clear first choice right back at Old Trafford – unless they move for the likes of Dani Alves.
CB) Jonny Evans
Seems to be first choice at Old Trafford but needs to keep himself fit.
CB) Marcos Rojo
Was brought in as United’s one big central defensive signing this summer.
LB) Luke Shaw
The teenager has had an inauspicious start, but there isn’t much competition for his role without moving Rojo out of position.
DCM) Daley Blind
The Dutchman is van Gaal’s man for patrolling in front of the back four.
CM) Ander Herrera
Enjoyed a fine start to his United career before being curtailed by a rib injury.
CM) Angel di Maria
Comfortably United’s best player right now, di Maria is relishing his midfield role.
ACM) Wayne Rooney
The arrival of Cavani would see Rooney used almost exclusively as a number ten.
SC) Edinson Cavani
Cavani’s arrival would force Robin van Persie out of the first team picture at Old Trafford, despite his decent goalscoring form.
SC) Radamel Falcao
Scored his first goal against Everton to build on the Colombian’s impressive link-up play to date for United.
