Having seen Cody Gakpo snapped up by arch rivals Liverpool this week, Manchester United are back to square one in their search for a new goalscorer.

So to give the Red Devils a hand in their hunt for a new striker, we decided to draw up a shortlist of options they could target this January.

In the words of Maui, you’re welcome…

1. Dusan Vlahovic

Club: Juventus
Age: 22
Games: 15
Goals: 7

If Erling Haaland wasn’t a thing, then Dusan Vlahovic would be widely regarded as the best young number nine in the world.

Only 22 years old, Vlahovic has everything you’d want in a number nine already and he’s only going to get better too.

Having signed for Juventus in the 2021/22 transfer window for a fee which could rise to €91.6m, it’s fair to say that any deal the Red Devils could make to sign Vlahovic would be an expensive one. However, when one considers Juve’s current financial situation (it’s very, very bad), it’s not as impossible a signing as it might initially seem.
