He has not played a single minute at Juventus, where coach Maurizio Sarri made it clear that he would not count on him. Condemned to ostracism in Turin, Mario Mandzukic cannot wait for the transfer window to open again to run away from Italy. He already has his suitcases packed and just needs to know where he will go. Although according to the latest information coming from the 'boot' country, the striker would have everything arranged to join the Premier League, to be exact, Manchester United.
'TuttoSport' reports that the 33-year-old Croatian striker would resume the negotiations he had already held in the past transfer market, when he had the chance to join Old Trafford, although the clubs did not reach an agreement, as at that time United proposed an exchange between Romelu Lukaku (now at Inter) and Paulo Dybala, and Mandzukic was also wanted in the deal.
However, everything has changed to date. The 'Joya' has earned a place in Sarri's starting eleven, while the Belgian forward went to Milan with Antonio Conte.
Also wanted in USA and Qatar
Although Manchester United would not be the only option for the Croatian, who would have the option of joining Qatari football, where he still interests Al-Gharaf, or Major League Soccer, where he was rumored to join LA Galaxy.
Last season, with Allegri as Juventus' coach, Mario Mandzukic enjoyed over 2,000 minutes in Serie A and scored nine goals. Now with Sarri as coach, it seems that his time at the Allianz Stadium in Turin has an expiration date.
