Manchester United are closing in on the January signing of Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic, as per reports.
The Red Devils are confident that a transfer fee of £9 million (€10m/$11m) will be accepted by Juventus, who are desperate to sell the Croatian veteran.
Mandzukic is expected to sign an 18-month contract until the summer of 2021 and would earn a salary of £4.4m (€5m/$5.5m) a year.
The Red Devils have failed to score more than one goal in a game since they beat Chelsea 4-0 on the opening weekend of the season.
They currently languish in 12th place in the Premier League and are in the market for a short-term option in attack to help propel them up the table.
Mandzukic has enjoyed four excellent years at Juventus since arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2015, winning four straight Italian league titles and scoring 44 goals in 162 appearances.
However, the 33-year-old is now surplus to requirements in Turin, with new coach Maurizio Sarri deeming the giant striker unsuitable for his style of football.
