DBasia.news – Juventus striker, Mario Mandzukic, is the most realistic option to be recruited by Manchester United in January.
Manchester United are starting to realize that their front line is a weak point this season. The Red Devils often have difficulty breaking into the opponents’ goal, even when the team they face have qualities far below.
The problem began when Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez left Old Trafford. However, Man United was unable to get a replacement for the two players.
One name that stuck out in the Manchester United transfer list is Mario Mandzukic. According to the former Liverpool player, Steve Nicol, the Red Devils have secured the services of the former Bayern Munich player.
“I feel that Mario Mandzukic’s transfer to Manchester United will happen. I am assessing that the agreement has already taken place at this time. So, this is a good step for Manchester United,” Steve Nicol said as reported by ESPN.
“Mario Mandzukic is an experienced player. He will be there in the short term and will give the best performance for Manchester United,” he continued.
Despite being 33 years old, Mandzukic still has abilities that are useful for Manchester United. Mandzukic is an attacker who often breaks the deadlock. Last season, he achieved 10 goals plus seven assists.
The player who have won the Champions League also has the advantage of playing from the wing sector. The role was carried out by the player in the Massimiliano Allegri era to train Juventus.
Mario Mandzukic has increasingly been appealing to Manchester United because of the player’s price. Based on reports from several Italian media, Juventus ahd tagged the player for no more than 30 million euros.
The Bianconeri are not expected to deter Manchester United’s desire to bring in Mario Mandzukic. As Mandzukic also had not entered Maurizio Sarri’s plan.
