Manchester United 'on verge of signing Mario Mandzukic'

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic.

The two clubs are said to be in discussions over a swap for Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala, with the former already believed to have agreed terms with the Italian champions.

United are allegedly preparing to pull the plug on a move for Dybala, though, after becoming frustrated with the Argentina international's reluctance to join the club.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been strongly linked with Mandzukic in a separate deal, meanwhile, with the Croatia international said to be available for £15m.

According to the Daily Mail, the English giants are now on the brink of completing a move for the 33-year-old, who scored 10 times in 33 appearances for the Old Lady last term.

Mandzukic, who helped Croatia reach the 2018 World Cup final, has struck 44 times in 162 games for Juve since arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2015.
