Diego Forlan believes Edinson Cavani may prove to be an inspired signing in the mould of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United.
The former Old Trafford ace has delivered a glowing review for the club's newest star name, who was recruited on deadline day earlier this month following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
Ibrahimovic joined the club in similar circumstances in 2016, having also left PSG as a free agent, and Forlan predicts countryman Cavani will perform and defy his doubters in a similar style.

The now 39-year-old Ibrahimovic netted four goals in his first five games after moving to the Premier League, and scored 28 times in total across all competitions during a formidable debut season.
