Super-Agent Jorge Mendes Claims Radamel Falcao May Leave Man United
Here are five strikers Manchester United could replace Radamel Falcao with:
5) Jackson Martinez – Porto
Unproven at the highest level, but boasting a fantastic goalscoring record for club and country. Radamel Falcao’s compatriot, Martinez would add some real physicality up front for United, and has all the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.
4) Gonzalo Higuain – Napoli
The Argentine enjoyed a fantastic first season in Serie A following his big money move from Real Madrid, but has allegedly become unsettled at the club.
A natural finisher, Higuain could thrive off the service at Manchester United.
3) Alexandre Lacazette – Lyon
Arguably one of the hottest properties on the market at the moment, the prolific young Frenchman is scoring goals for fun in Ligue 1 this season.
United may have to move quickly if they want to bring Lacazette to Old Trafford however, as he is being chased by a number of top European clubs.
2) Karim Benzema – Real Madrid
Every season the Frenchman’s future is thrown into doubt, with Real Madrid constantly on the lookout for the next Galactico.
Benzema has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a number of years now, and could be an excellent addition to Louis van Gaal’s side.
1) Edinson Cavani – PSG
The Uruguayan is seemingly on the lookout for an exit from Ligue 1 champions PSG, but the Parisian club are likely to demand a colossal fee.
If Louis van Gaal wants a ready made striker who is proven at the highest level, then Cavani would arguably be the easiest option.
