The reports are raw; mostly true. Mario Mandzukic is ready to join Manchester United this January but before he officially pens down a contract with Red Devils the striker would now like special permission to begin training with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s in December before officially completing his move on January.
Mario Mandzukic has found it tough to live under Sarri and has not got a chance to feature for the Old Lady. And with Manchester United missing a goal-scorer, the 33-year-old is a perfect candidate of joining the club.
Juventus and Mandzukic are determined to leave each other and so much so that he will reportedly join United next month. The Croatian veteran will begin to train with the club a month before he signs contract to which Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has also agreed.
Mandzukic is a beast when it comes to air (the only thing that United need right now) and his work ethics too are one that of a hard worker. He may be a short term deal considering his age but his presence will surely improve the conditions if United.
United are ready to offer £6.4m-a-year in a bid to squeeze the deal and bring a striker who can fill in the void space left by Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez. All in all their experience is what United are missing the most.
This kind of happening is very rare in footballing fraternity with Thiago Silva being the latest of player to have joined a club before officially joining them. The Brazilian had joined AC Milan in 2009 even before he left Fluminese.
Mandzukic is almost a done deal and will surely be of great use to a fairly inexperienced side who depends on the like of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood to score the goals. The only bad that Mario can do is increase the average age of United squad otherwise he is a peach.
Mandzukic can give the banal looking United a magnetic look.
