Manchester United’s Europa League clash with Lyon could be a turning point in their stuttering season under Ruben Amorim.
With the Red Devils languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, pressure is mounting on the Portuguese boss to secure silverware and European qualification.
United’s form has seen them drop out of Champions League contention, forcing the board to plan aggressively ahead of the summer window.
Amorim is reportedly keen on bolstering his frontline, with Rasmus Hojlund still inconsistent and Anthony Martial set to depart on a free transfer.
Fabrizio Romano also confirmed United’s growing interest in Ipswich Town’s rising star Liam Delap, though competition from Chelsea remains intense.
Now, a new name has emerged at the top of United’s shortlist.
Dusan Vlahovic is firmly in the Red Devils’ sights as they prepare to revamp their forward options this summer.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United are one of several European powerhouses tracking the Juventus striker ahead of a possible summer switch.
The 25-year-old Serbian has just over a year left on his contract, and Juventus could be forced to cash in to avoid losing him for less in 2026.

Juventus would reportedly accept an offer of around €55 million (£47m), but interested Premier League clubs, including United and Chelsea, are believed to be lining up bids closer to €45 million (£38m).
New Juventus manager Igor Tudor is a known admirer of Dusan Vlahovic, and his recent form has only strengthened his case, with the striker assisting three of Juve’s last four goals.
However, his hefty salary of €23m per season remains a huge stumbling block for the Bianconeri, potentially tipping the scale in United’s favour.
Described by pundits as “the best finisher in the world,” Vlahovic would bring much-needed firepower and clinical edge to Old Trafford.
With United reluctant to meet Victor Osimhen’s €120m release clause and uncertainty over Benjamin Sesko’s availability, Vlahovic represents a more affordable, ready-made solution.
If United can negotiate terms and convince the Serbian to join the Amorim project, a cut-price marquee signing could be on the cards in the coming weeks.
