Manchester United are considering a move for former Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports.
Vlahovic scored 10 goals for Juventus last season and is now a free agent after his contract with the Serie A club expired earlier this summer.
The 26-year-old, who was wanted by Arsenal four years ago, is on Barcelona’s striker shortlist this summer, while he has already received an offer to join Besiktas.
According to the i Paper, United will also consider signing Vlahovic this summer if Joshua Zirkzee returns to Serie A.
The report adds that if Zirkzee were to leave, United will look for an ‘experienced striker’ on a short-term deal as his replacement.

The 25-year-old has scored nine goals in 75 appearances for United.
United are also keeping tabs on Ollie Watkins’ situation at Aston Villa.
