Man as referent for their plans

Is it correct to have the noun "man" as a referent for the phrase "their plans" in this example sentence? Thank you in advance for your help.

Man should forsake their plans and follow God's plans instead.

No, with "Man" you should use "his plans" (even though you are not talking about one individual man).
