The Serie A league leaders are on the hunt for forwards to take over from players like 32-year-old Mario Mandzukic, according to CalcioMercato. Belgian striker Lukaku has scored six goals in 22 appearances for United so far in this campaign.

The 25-year-old, who missed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first win as United boss on Saturday due to compassionate leave, is not the only United player on the Italian club’s radar. Sportsmail reported last week that Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola held talks with Juventus but United do not wish to sell him. Raiola is understood to have discussed a number of his clients with the Italian champions, who hold an interest in re-signing the midfielder they sold to United for £89million back in 2016.

Juventus were also one of a host of clubs interested in signing Anthony Martial last season. In addition, United full back Matteo Darmian was also of interest to the Serie A outfit last campaign as talks over a possible switch took place in May. Juventus are currently eight points clear at the top of the Italian top flight, having maintained an unbeaten start.
