Manchester United 'offered chance to sign Edin Dzeko'

Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Roma forward Edin Dzeko in the final stages of the January transfer window.

The 34-year-old has scored 114 goals in 242 appearances for his Italian club, including eight strikes in 20 outings in all competitions during the 2020-21 campaign.

Dzeko might have played his last game for I Giallorossi, though, having fallen out with the club's head coach Paulo Fonseca.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, United have been offered the opportunity to sign the striker as a replacement for Odion Ighalo, who has seen his loan spell at the club come to an end.

Dzeko scored 72 times in 189 appearances during his time with Manchester City, including 50 goals in 130 Premier League outings between 2011 and 2016.

United signed Edinson Cavani on a free transfer last summer, while Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood are also options for the 20-time English champions in the centre-forward position.
