Manchester United will announce their second signing in the summer transfer market 2020. According to a report from Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man United will secure the signature of Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani today, Sunday (4/10/2020).
Since Cavani is without a club, Man United does not need to spend a transfer fee to get the 33-year-old striker. Later, El Matador – the nickname Cavani – contracted by Man United for two years with a salary of 10 million euros per year.
Cavani’s presence makes Man United have a first-class center-forward. For your information, since Romelu Lukaku left in the summer of 2019, Man United no longer has an excellent center forward.
As a result, throughout the 2019-2020 season and earlier this season, Anthony Martial, who played as a left winger, played as a center forward. Apart from Cavani, Man United is actually hunting down Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
It’s just that, until now the agreement has not been reached. Man United management only intends to borrow Dembele with a permanent option at the end of the season.
On the other hand, Barcelona, who need cash, want to sell Dembele permanently. Because an agreement has not been reached, Dembele may not be at Old Trafford Stadium.
To replace the failure to bring in Dembele, Man United’s management landed Penarol’s right winger, Facundo Pellistri. According to Fabrizio Romano’s report, Man United will spend 10 million euros to land the 18-year-old winger.
In position, Facundo Pellistri is exactly the same as Dembele. The player born in Montevideo has made 17 appearances for Penarol this season with a collection of one goal and two assists.
Now the question is, can Cavani and Pellistri succeed with Man United? For your information, South American players brought in by Man United often fail to shine at Old Trafford.
Some of them are Radamel Falcao, Juan Sebastian Veron, Angel Di Maria to the best player at the 2010 World Cup, Diego Forlan. Therefore, it is interesting to wait for Cavani and Pellistri’s work with Man United.
