Man Utd to move for Mandzukic in January

Manchester United will target Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic in January, according to The Sun.

United are in a crisis at striker, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial injured after the club failed to bring in a replacement for Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez this summer.

The 33-year-old could be a short-term answer for United, after he nearly joined the club in the summer but saw the move collapse due to his wage demands.

Hickey has turned heads with some impressive performances in the Scottish Premier League, leading to reported interest from Southampton and Manchester City among others.

"We're in the middle of [contract talks] just now. It's been quite difficult, though," Levein admitted.

Fosun are now searching for additional investment after Thomas Cook's collapse, with the Chinese company thought to own 18 per cent of the travel operator.

Portland star Valeri could be headed for the exit

Portland Timbers star Diego Valeri could be in the final months of his time with the club, according to The Athletic.
