Manchester United are said to have held additional talks with Juventus over the possible signing of Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic. It comes as talks continue with Paulo Dybala's representatives, although there remains no guarantee the Argentine will agree to join.
Mandzukic, who has already been linked with United both in summers past and in recent weeks, is a more typical 'number nine' and could be seen as a direct replacement for Romelu Lukaku as the Belgian prepares to secure his dream move to Turin.
Italian journalist Romeo Agresti tweeted that talks have been held in addition to the Dybala - Lukaku swap, suggesting there is a chance United could end up with both if successful, and that Mandzukic is not simply an alternative should Dybala decide against the Old Trafford move.
