Manchester United Identify This Experienced Striker As A Target: What Will He Bring To Old Trafford? | OneFootball

In a recent report, The i Paper revealed that Manchester United have identified Dusan Vlahovic as a target for this summer transfer window. It has been claimed that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to bring the Serbian striker to Old Trafford on a free transfer this off-season.

Vlahovic’s Decent Record In Serie A

Vlahovic enjoyed a good campaign at Juventus recently as he managed to put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 26-year-old banged in ten goals and grabbed two assists in 23 matches for the Turin outfit last season across multiple competitions.

The Serbian talent is currently among the most experienced forwards in Europe and is available as a free agent. Hence, Man United would do well to get him on board this summer.

Vlahovic was a decent contributor in Serie A last season. However, only time will tell whether he can adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to secure his services in this transfer window.

What Will Vlahovic Bring To Manchester United?

Vlahovic is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He can be a streaky goal-scorer in the final third and can chip in with the odd assist for his team.

Standing at 1.90m, the Serbian sensation is a strong presence in the air as well. However, it remains to be seen whether he can make a smooth transition to life in Premier League football if Man United opt to sign him on a free transfer this off-season.

We can expect Vlahovic to bring more firepower to Michael Carrick’s frontline. He has got the experience and skill set to fight for a regular first-team place at the Theatre of Dreams in the coming years.

At 26, Vlahovic is about to enter his prime, which makes him a worthy target for the Red Devils to pursue in this transfer period. He will also help Man United compete across all fronts in the future. Therefore, Carrick should focus on trying everything in his power to lure Vlahovic to Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer.
