Manchester United and Juventus held talks over the separate transfer of Mario Mandzukic during the Paulo Dybala discussions.
The clubs are locked in negotiations over a potential swap deal involving Dybala and Romelu Lukaku.
According to
Football Italia, Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici is in Manchester working on the terms of a transfer but it is not the only point of discussion, with a deal for Mandzukic also in the pipeline.
Should swap deal involving both players be completed, it would leave United short of forward and now Solskjaer thought to be considering Mandzukic as an option.
