As you will be sorely aware by now, Edinson Cavani’s future at Manchester United remains up in the air.

The striker, although scoring important goals for the Premier League club, could return to South America, with Boca Juniors lurking, a move that even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted at in recent interviews.

While it’s not certain, it wouldn’t be surprising if Manchester United were looking around for a potential replacement should Cavani end up crossing the Atlantic.

Big names have emerged here and there, but to replace the Uruguayan, you would be looking at a perhaps cheaper and less prominent footballer.

That’s where Andrea Belotti would come in, at least according to Tuttosport, who explain Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs looking at the Torino striker.

The monitoring from England is said to ‘remain constant’, with it explained that the Red Devils, Chelsea and Tottenham ‘have straight antennas and swollen wallets’, hinting they could certainly be ready to pounce should the chance arise.

For those who don’t know, Belotti is currently set to enter the final year of his contract, and renewal talks aren’t exactly going smoothly.

That’s why an exit from Torino is being discussed almost daily in the Italian media, with new clubs being brought in every day.

We’ll have to wait and see regarding this Manchester United link, but with previous claims suggesting Belotti could be available for around €25m, it’s certainly a name worth considering as a rotation option going forward.
