# Manchester United tipped on potential January move for “one of the strongest forwards in Europe”

[Manchester United’s](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) season has been a rollercoaster so far.

After glimpses of hope, including a shock victory over Chelsea, the Red Devils quickly slipped back into troubling form. [A 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the weekend highlighted](https://manunews.com/blog/man-united-player-ratings-brentford/) ongoing issues, particularly in front of goal.

The new attacking trio — Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha — have struggled to deliver.

Sesko has managed just one goal, Mbeumo has two, and Cunha is yet to find the net. With the club seeking a solution to their scoring woes, a potential target may have emerged.

## United Alerted to Dusan Vlahovic Availability

[According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Juventus/26-09-2025/la-juventus-vuole-cedere-vlahovic-a-gennaio-chelsea-e-united-ci-pensano.shtml?refresh_ce), Juventus could be open to letting striker Dusan Vlahovic leave in the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old Serbian arrived in Turin from Fiorentina in 2022, but tensions over a new contract soured his time at Juve last season. Juventus reportedly attempted to reduce their wage bill by offering Vlahovic a lower salary, leading to disagreements.

With his current deal expiring next summer, the Serie A giants are reportedly keen to secure a transfer fee in January rather than risk losing him for free. This means Manchester United — alongside other interested clubs — could have a chance to strike a deal before the summer.

Vlahovic has been [described by former Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli as “one of the strongest forwards in Europe.”](https://tribuna.com/en/news/2025-09-23-prandelli-praises-vlahovic-a-champion-one-of-the-best-in-europe/) Since joining Juventus, he has netted 62 goals in 151 appearances, including four in just six games this season — already surpassing the combined output of United’s struggling front three.

If the Red Devils want to address their goal-scoring problems in the short term, Vlahovic could present an immediate solution.
