Man Utd, Chelsea target Mandzukic confirms Bayern Munich exit plans

Mario Mandzukic has announced his intention to leave Bayern Munich this summer. The Croatia striker is being linked with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United after clashing with Bayern coach Pep Guardiola last season.

"I met with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge along with my agent before the German Cup and told him that I wanted to leave the club," Mandzukic have told Sportske Novosti.

"I've had a fantastic time in Bavaria. It is a very good club and I never thought I wanted to leave, especially not now.
