Manchester United continues to dominate the transfer market headlines.
According to La Gazzetta delo Sports (via Football Italy), Juventus’ Vlahovic is reportedly trapped in a three-way battle for his signature, and Man United is considered to be one of the clubs competing for his services.
The Juventus striker scored two Italian goals against Borussia Dortmund this week in a 4-4 draw at Allianz Stadium.
Not only that, Vlahovic scored two goals in three games of the new Serie A season, once again showing the quality of his goalscoring.

The attacker is scheduled to become free agents next summer, with some of Europe’s top clubs being wary of his availability next season.
The old lady was involved in consultations with the striker over the new contract, but was unable to reach an agreement on the new contract, so the striker is expected to leave the Serie A Giants for free next summer.
The other two clubs competing with Man United for the striker’s signature are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
However, the preference for strikers moving into the Premier League could be in their favour of the Red Devils.
The attacker is expected to request a salary of 10 million euros per year and a signature bonus of 10 million euros.
Should United look for a new striker?
The Red Devils invested heavily in their summer transfer window to sign Benjamin Sesco. He hasn’t settled well with the club yet, but the younger striker needs more time and more opportunities.
Signing a new striker will weaken his development and reduce his playing time.
Sesko has yet to score a goal for the Premier League side, but it’s too early to judge him. He is still learning manager tactics and trying to get to know his teammates.
United will need to look for a midfielder instead of a new striker. This is because it’s the biggest problem for the team right now.
