According to the former Croatian midfielder, Milan Rapaic, Mario Mandzukic is a very closea to making a move to Manchester United this summer from Atletico Madrid despite the club being linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspura s Harry Kane.
Mandzukic has been reported to being close to making an exit from Atletico Madrid and it seems that the Croatian international could move to Manchester United as Louis Van Gaal attempts to assemble a competent squad for the upcoming season. According to fellow Croatian Milan Rapaic, Mandzukic is a very closea to Manchester United as Louis Van Gaal looks to lock up his attacking options for the coming season.
a It appears to me that hea s very close to Manchester United.a
Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspura s star striker Harry Kane even though reports suggest that Daniel Levy is refusing to play ball with Ed Woodward and Louis Van Gaal.
It will be interesting if Manchester United indeed complete the signing of Mario Mandzukic who hasna t the best season with Atletico Madrid after moving from Bayern Munich. Harry Kane on the other hand, if he is available, looks like a much better signing but the fact remains that Tottenham Hotspur would loathe to sell their star academy product to a rival club.

With Radamel Falcaoa s tryst with Manchester United was brought to a close at the end of the season, Robin Van Persie too looks set to leave Old Trafford this summer. The question that must be plaguing those in charge at Manchester United is whether Mario Mandzukic is indeed the kind of a player who can lead the cluba s charge in the coming season like Robin Van Persie did after switching over from Arsenal in 2012. The other question is, with Falcao and Van Persie both out of the club, aren’t Manchester United in the market for two new strikers, instead of one?
