Arsenal, Chelsea target Mandzukic: I can't play for Guardiola

Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic admits he has no future at the club under Pep Guardiola.

The Croatia international admits he became convinced his days at Bayern were numbered after the first game of last season.

"No matter how hard I tried, in this type of football I cannot give my best," he said of Guardiola's tiki-taka style.

"After the first game at Bayern, I knew this.

"So now, it is best for everyone if we go our separate ways."

Chelsea, Arsenal and Juventus all head the queue of clubs chasing Mandzukic's signature this summer.
