Following news that Manchester United are interested in signing Spanish World Cup winner Fernando Llorente from Serie A champions Juventus, we look at five other striking options that will be better suited for the Red Devils.
5) Alexandre Lacazette
The Lyon forward was in superb form last season as he topped the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with 27 goals in just 31 appearances and would represent a long-term solution in attack for United boss Louis van Gaal.
4) Karim Benzema
Doubts have emerged over the Frenchman’s future at Real Madrid following the appointment of Rafael Benitez as the new manager and Benzema would certainly be a welcome addition at Old Trafford.
3) Thomas Muller
Reports have indicated that United made a huge offer for the German forward during the week and that suggests van Gaal is keen to land a second player from his former club Bayern Munich this summer.
2) Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan is crying out to be played in his favoured centre-forward role and a move to Old Trafford could bring the very best out of the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

1) Pedro
Another player that has been heavily linked with a transfer to Old Trafford in recent weeks and with his buyout clause now at a reported £22million, it would be a brilliant piece of transfer business if van Gaal is able to conclude a deal.
