Juventus star Mario Mandzukic is reported to have spurned the opportunity to play under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United this season.
The veteran forward, who is likely to see some more playing time now that Gonzalo Higuain is no longer a Juve player, was on target for I Bianconeri as they beat Lazio 2-0 on Saturday and could have a fine season in front of goal for the Italian champions.
According to CalcioMercato, Jose Mourinho made attempts to get the striker on United's books before the transfer window closed for English clubs but was unsuccessful as the Croatian opted to remain with The Old Lady because of Massimilliano Allegri.
