Man Utd Transfers: 6 Signings Fergie Must Push Through This Summer

2. Mirko Vucinic

Mirko VucinicClub: Juventus With Robert Lewandowski hotly tipped to head to Bayern Munich this summer from Dortmund, and United still in need of attacking reinforcements, one name that has popped up recently is Juventus stiker Mirko Vucinic. That link comes via Sky Sports, who claimed that Vucinic's agent Alessandro Lucci had confirmed that Man United are interested in the Montenegro striker, whose future is uncertain at Juve thanks to the summer arrival of Fernando Llorente. Asked about United, Lucci apparently spoke to Tuttomercatoweb about the link:
"It is not up to me to say, but United is a club of world level, as well as Juventus. So it is normal that this kind of teams follow Mirko. "Do we have problems with the arrival of some top players at Juve? Absolutely not, it would only be a good thing for him. "The coach Antionio Conte considers Vucinic a key player for his way of playing. He scores and creates assist for his team-mates. "
Those are exactly the kind of values that Sir Alex would value, if the link is indeed true, and Vucinic would offer something slightly different to Robin Van Persie. He would actually offer something closer to a player like Lewandowski, which is probably where this link came from, but that doesn't hide the fact that he would be an exceptional signing to boost Sir Alex's options upfront.
