Mario Mandzukic set to join Manchester United 'on Monday'

The Croatia international is believed to have been discussed during talks over a potential Romelu Lukaku-Paulo Dybala swap deal. However, his move will be a separate affair that will cost the Red Devils €10-15 million, Tuttosport reports. The two clubs are in advanced talks for the 33-year-old and the deal could be confirmed on Monday. United enquired about the availability of Mandzukic at Easter time this year, but the striker turned them down having signed a contract extension in April. However, he isn’t considered a part of new coach Maurizio Sarri’s plans and is therefore expected to agree to the switch this time round. Mandzukic started 23 Serie A matches in 2018/19, scoring nine goals and laying on another six assists.
