Manchester United are considering a surprise move for Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic.

Sky Italia says United boss Jose Mourinho will make an approach for the Juventus forward in the coming weeks as he looks to strengthen his forward line.

It is believed United would like to bring in another recognised central striking option to relieve the pressure on top-scorer Romelu Lukaku.

Juventus would be happy to see the Croatian forward leave in the summer as they look to rejuvenate their ageing squad.

Mandzukic is also a former Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich star.
