Manchester United is ready to correct a few wrong decisions from the summer transfer window, and their first order of business will be to hire a reliable striker to fill the void left by Romelu Lukaku.
The Red Devils have only managed to score nine goals in eight games, and Ed Woodward and Co. have picked up negotiations to hire a player that can fill such a relevant spot in the team's lineup.
During the summer transfer window, Manchester United came close to making business with Juventus for Mario Mandzukic, and now, the Croatian player seems to have reached an agreement to join the Red Devils during the winter transfer window. According to Italian media outlet Tuttosport, Mandzukic has reached a verbal agreement with the Red Devils, which will see him embark in his first Premier League adventure.
Mandzukic seemed to be destined to join Qatar-based side Al-Rayyan on an $8.6M deal, but the footballer urged his agent to look for options in Europe. The 33-year-old striker is desperate to leave Juventus since he has not featured for the bianconeri in the current Serie A season, while he was also snubbed from the squad that is playing the Group Stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United is ranked 12th in the 2019-20 Premier League season, with rumors hinting at a possible exit for coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Regardless of the coach's future, the Red Devils are desperate to hire talent up front, and the Croatian striker seems to be the right fit for the job, even if there can be some doubts about his fitness and his age.
