Manchester United are readying an ambitious double raid on Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain this summer as they target Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva for £57m, according to CaughtOffside.

The Red Devils could do with strengthening both upfront and in defence for next season, with Cavani a long-term target for the club as a possible replacement for the out-of-form Robin van Persie and loan flop Radamel Falcao, who seems unlikely to make his move to Old Trafford permanent.
United have also been short of quality at the back this term, with the likes of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling not impressing on a consistent basis, while youngsters such as Tyler Blackett and Paddy McNair have played a surprisingly high number of games.
Silva has long been regarded as one of the best centre-backs in the world and would make a fine signing for the club, though it remains to be seen if PSG would let two such important players go in one move.
