Manchester United now have a chance to sign former City striker Edin Dzeko as reports say the Bosnia and Herzegovina star is set to quit Italian club Roma.

It was gathered that the 34-year-old is set to leave Italy following clash with Roma manager Paulo Fonseca as he is consequently left out of the team.

Top outlet Corriere dello Sport via SunSport are reporting that Manchester United who are desperate to get a formidable striker now have a chance to get Dzeko in.

Reports claim the player is now training alone and was not named in Saturday’s 4-3 won over Spezia in the Serie A.

Dzeko has scored 114 goals in 242 games for the capital club, including eight this season. And now Man United could end up with the tenacious hitman among their ranks.

Odion Ighalo has returned to Shanghai Shenhua after his loan deal ended.

And Dzeko would come in to provide support in attack alongside Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial.

Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo has taken time out to chill on a beach shortly after his contract with Manchester United expired this month.

The 31-year-old spent a whole year at Old Trafford scoring five goals and one assist in 23 appearances across competitions.

He also wrote his name on the hall of fame at Old Trafford after becoming only the second player in the history of the club to score in each of his first four competitive starts for the Red Devils.

Despite hitting the ground running during the second half of last season, he did not enjoy similar exposure this term after featuring just four times across board.

The former Watford and Granada attacker is now taking time to rest before rejoining his Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Bruno Fernandes has revealed he has a pool of four Man United teammates who stay behind with him for more training after sessions with the rest of the team.

Fernandes has built a reputation for himself at United a year after he joined the club, forming part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad of key players.

The 2020/21 campaign has seen him pick from where he left, playing a pivotal part in United's fine run of results.
