Cavani has been tipped to agree a summer move to Juventus, but reports in Italy suggest his wage demands may scupper the deal.
The Uruguay international is understood to want a £5.75million-a-year salary, but the Serie A giants are unwilling to meet his price in the negotiations.
I don't know whether I will stay at PSG
United will likely attempt to take advantage of the situation as Louis van Gaal continues his search for a consistent goalscorer ahead of next season.
The Red Devils are more than capable of reaching the 28-year-old's wage demands, with on-loan striker Radamel Falcao, who is on £265,000-a-week, set to return to Monaco in the summer.
Edinson Cavani is destined to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer
Cavani has recently admitted in an interview with GQ: "I don't know whether I will stay at PSG. I might stay, I might leave... You never know what will happen in football.
"When I arrived at PSG, I was forced to play on the wing. I want to play as a striker. I would without a doubt do much better in my own position."
