Manchester United hero Robin van Persie urges his former side to snap up 'brilliant and available goal machine' Edinson Cavani on a free transfer

Robin van Persie has encouraged former club Manchester United to make Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani their first signing of the summer.

The Red Devils signed Odion Ighalo on transfer deadline day on a loan deal until the end of the season, but van Persie believes they should look to Cavani as a long-term solution to their goalscoring woes.

The Dutchman took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to answer questions from his followers and the former United No 20 had his say on United's transfer policy.
