Amazing rumour! Man United to use Falcao as makeweight in deal for PSG star?

Manchester United could buy Radamel Falcao and make an immediate swap with PSG for Edinson Cavani.

That is the astonishing transfer saga emerging from Paris today with respected sports paper L'Equipe stating the amazing transfer merry-go-round could be about to spin.

Cavani has struggled to reproduce his best form since switching to France from Napoli last summer and Falcao has failed to live up to his billing under Louis van Gaal.

But both strikers remain among the most feared strikers in world football and the hottest properties in the transfer market.

United have the option to buy Colombian Falcao as part of his loan deal from Monaco and moving him straight on for Uruguay international Cavani would represent a remarkable deal.
