The Kane and Cavani conundrum: Do Man United need to break the bank and spend over £100m on England's captain to become a great force again, or does their veteran striker's stunning form allow Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to focus on other areas of weakness?

The Uruguayan striker is enjoying a rich vein of form and it looks like the 34-year-old is tempted to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
