Manchester United considers Vlahovic as Zirkzee exit looms

Summary

Manchester United is exploring a move for free agent Dusan Vlahovic as Joshua Zirkzee's future with the club remains uncertain. Vlahovic, who recently left Juventus, has garnered interest from both United and Barcelona. Zirkzee's performance in pre-season has been notable, especially with the injury to Benjamin Sesko, who is expected to return in August. United may need to secure a striker quickly if Zirkzee departs, and Danny Welbeck appears to be closer to joining Chelsea, further complicating United's options. Vlahovic has consistently scored double-digit goals and has been on United's radar in previous transfer windows.
