Manchester United 'learn Mario Mandzukic asking price'

Manchester United have reportedly been informed that they will be able to sign Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic for just £4.6m during the January transfer window.

Manduzkic was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in the latter stages of the summer window, only to remain with the Italian champions past the transfer deadline.

The 33-year-old has not played a single minute of first-team football for Juve this term, though, and is widely expected to move on at the start of 2020.

United continue to be linked with a move for the experienced forward, and according to Calciomercato, Juve have told Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side that the price to open contact talks with the Croatian is £4.6m.

The 20-time English champions will allegedly prioritise signing a new striker in January, although Sevilla could battle the Red Devils for Mandzukic's signature.

The 2018 World Cup finalist has scored 44 times in 162 outings for Juve since arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2015, including nine in 25 Serie A appearances during the 2018-19 campaign.
