Edinson Cavani's time at Manchester United appears to be up, with journalist Fabrizio Romano claiming that the club have "no intention" to hand him a contract extension past the end of this season, along with Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford could also be heading through the departure doors of Old Trafford, with Arsenal interested in offering him a way out of Manchester this summer - according to The Daily Mirror.

With the duo both potentially lining up for other clubs next season, and Anthony Martial not yet impressing or beginning to show signs of resurrecting his career on-loan at Sevilla, the Red Devils could find themselves short in the striking department - and thus, a move for Roma star Tammy Abraham could be on the cards.

What's the news?

Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) have claimed that United are "ready to make a big investment" in Abraham, who has scored 19 goals for club and country in all competitions this season, impressing since moving to Italy.

The report also states that "many clubs" have asked about the £40.5m-rated striker, including Tottenham - who have been linked with making a move for the Englishman should another United target, Harry Kane, depart the north London club this summer.

Made for Manchester

United fans are longing for a clinical, natural striker who can emulate the great Wayne Rooney and be the team's primary goal-getter, and should Kane not be available this summer or choose to stay with Spurs, Abraham would be an excellent alternative.

Managing editor of The Athletic's Tifo Football, Joe Devine, said that Abraham currently "owns the big stage", which is evident by him netting two goals in Roma's fierce 'Derby della Capitale' game with Lazio on their way to winning 3-0.

That's as well as scoring the goal against Vitesse that sent the Serie A giants through to the next round of the UEFA Conference League - both coming in the club's last two fixtures.

Among strikers in Europe's top five leagues and continental competitions, the 24-year-old who was dubbed "Drogba-esque" by Rio Ferdinand, ranks incredibly highly in some key barometers.

He is in the top 2% for xG per 90 (0.69), top 16% for through balls per 90 (0.18) and top 15% for tackles per 90 (1.28) - proving that he is a complete striker still in the making, who will only get better and better - and would most likely be a huge success in Manchester.

Made for the big stage, this is exactly the type of forward that United need heading into next term. Not only will he provide more goals; but he could also be the Premier League's next Drogba. A very exciting prospect indeed.
