Manchester United looked certain to land Mario Mandzukic in the January transfer window, but now it looks as though an ex-Manchester City man could be the preferred target for the Red Devils.

According to Metro, United are now keen on bringing Edin Dzeko to Old Trafford in the winter window.

Dzeko spent a number of years at Manchester City, even scoring a goal in their famous 3-2 win over QPR that clinched the Premier League title at Manchester United's expense in May 2014.

United bosses are said to be concerned with a lack of recent activity from Mandzukic, so Roma forward Dzeko may be the better option as the club seek to bring in a striker.
