  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Louis Saha, a former United striker, has claimed that the club should sign Vlahovic from Juventus amid the woes of Zirkzee and Hojlund. The pair combined for just seven Premier League goals last season, but Vlahovic has hardly set the world alight in Serie A, netting 10 times in the league for Juve last term.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Vlahovic is being touted as a potential signing for United because of his "experience", and the Serbia international is older than both Hojlund, 22, and Zirkzee, 24. There have been reports that Jadon Sancho could move to Juve as part of a swap deal involving Vlahovic, and Saha thinks he can "protect and play for the badge", something their two current forwards have been accused of failing to do.

• WHAT SAHA SAID

  Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds, Saha said: “Jadon Sancho has been linked in a swap for Dusan Vlahovic, he is a top striker. It’s something that Man Utd are looking for. His numbers are good, his profile is good, he has experience, it would be a good signing in my eyes.

  “United need guaranteed goal-scorers, they need good characters and at the moment they have four players who don’t seem to want to protect and play for the badge, they are not children, that is a sad thing.”
