Moussa Dembele has underrated trait to give Manchester United an upgrade on Edinson Cavani

Manchester United have some interest a possible deal for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in this summer transfer window.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Friday, the development comes after Ralf Rangnick advised United to look at signing a younger forward at the end of the season, and it's understood Dembele is one of the players currently being looked at.

We know United will be in the market for at least one new forward this summer, with Cristiano Ronaldo entering the final year of his deal and Edinson Cavani almost certain to depart when his contract expires at the end of this campaign.
In terms of the latter, Dembele’s ability, work rate and efficiency in front of goal would make him an ideal replacement for Cavani. However, there’s another facet to his profile that will be just as highly rated by United, and that’s his all-round availability for selection.
Although Cavani has been a popular figure at Old Trafford since arriving at the beginning of last season, especially with supporters, it’s largely accepted that he’s missed too many important matches for them.
In fact since he arrived at the club, the Uruguayan has missed a startling 32 United games through travel-related omissions or injuries. That has proven particularly problematic this season as it has led to an increased reliance on Ronaldo who, at 37, has played more minutes than the club
