Manchester United are reportedly interested in g Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the January transfer window.

According to reports, United have added the 24-year-old striker to their list of targets.

Vlahovic is out of contract with Juventus in June 2026, so the Italian giants may look to cash in and secure a decent transfer fee.

Talks of a new deal are ongoing but are believed to have reached an ime. Football Insider reported on Tuesday that Manchester United are ing the race.

Manchester United See Dusan Vlahovic As Gyokeres Alternative

Following the appointment of former Sporting boss Viktor Gyokeres.

The Sporting star has a superb relationship with Amorim, and is believed to be interested in reuniting.

Swedish international Gyokeres has scored a phenomenal 68 goals in 73 total appearances for Sporting.

United are expected to make g the 26-year-old a major priority in the summer.

New Arrival Joshua Zirkzee has struggled, and was brought in under old boss Erik ten Hag, so may not be the sort of player Amorim favours.

Zirkzee has just three goals in 23 United appearances, and is performing well below the level required.

As a result, it seems likely the club will aim to bring in a top-level striker at Old Trafford.

Whether this will be Viktor Gyokeres, Dusan Vlahovic – or somebody else – remains to be seen. But what is clear is that the Red Devils need somebody who can reliably score goals for them.

Rasmus Hojlund has looked dangerous, but he is another who needs to up his conversion rate significantly.

At the moment, Alejandro Garnacho United’s top scorer across all competitions, with eight so far.
