No way back at Bayern Munich for Chelsea, Man Utd target Mandzukic

There's no way back at Bayern Munich for Mario Mandzukic. The Croatia striker was dropped by Bayern boss Pep Guardiola for the German Cup final as Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal circle.

BILD says Mandzukic's relationship with Guardiola is at a stage of almost disrepair after clashing in recent weeks.

The pair had a fiery argument after Real Madrid's victory in the Champions League and Mandzukic has since left Guardiola unimpressed with his attitude in training.

Meanwhile, Kicker says Mandzukic expressed his frustration to Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge before the last Bundesliga game against VfB Stuttgart and asked to be allowed to leave.

The striker has since cleared out his locker and said farewell to several Bayern employees as he prepares to quit the German giants this summer.
