Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan are at present monitoring the situation of Manchester United’s Robin van Persie at Old Trafford. The Dutch striker has been out with an ankle ligament injury for most of this season, as the club has risen into the top four. He has been on the sidelines for the past six weeks and has managed 10 goals but his performances have been really below par.
United are looking to add more quality to their attack and will want to sign two new forwards with Radamel Falcao expected to return to Monaco and Van Persie heading towards a possible exit, as well. The Dutch international will turn 32 in August and will just have a year left on his current deal, once the season ends. Contract talks will indeed take place to keep him in the summer, but would surely listen to offers from other clubs. Apart from the Italian sides, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are also interested in signing a back-up strikers of his level, although Barca still have their transfer embargo until January.
United will look to resolve their striker problems with PSG’s Edinson Cavani, a player that former manager David Moyes wanted to bring to Old Trafford about a a year ago. New rifts between him and manager Laurent Blanc emerged after the Uruguayan was substituted at the weekend. The former Napoli man joined the Ligue 1 champions in a £50million deal in the summer of 2013 and has played out of position for most of this season, hinting a exit from France soon.
