Mario Mandzukic: 'I want to leave Bayern Munich'

Mario Mandzukic confirms that he wants to leave Bayern Munich amid reported interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Mario Mandzukic has revealed that he intends to leave Bayern Munich because he does not fit into the style imposed by manager Pep Guardiola.

The 28-year-old has been linked with summer moves to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal following reports that he had fallen out with the ex-Barcelona boss.

"I met with [Bayern chairman] Karl Heinz Rummenigge before the [German] Cup final and told him I wanted to leave the club," Mandzukic told Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti.

"I've had a fantastic time at Bayern. It's a great club and I never thought I'd want to leave, and especially not at this point in time. But, let's be honest, I cannot play to my strengths under Guardiola's style - no matter how hard I try."

Mandzukic scored 26 goals in 48 games under Guardiola last season, which is a better return than his 22-goal tally during his first campaign at the Allianz Arena under Jupp Heynckes.
