Mario Mandzukic: Croatia ace makes Man Utd transfer decision after Juventus U-turn

The Juventus ace is currently in Russia for the World Cup with Croatia.

He is on Manchester United’s radar as they consider bringing in a new forward with Anthony Martial’s future in doubt.

But Gazzetta dello Sport report that Mandzukic is now set to stay at the club.

In May the the club's vice-president Pavel Nedved said he could leave.

He said: "Mandzukic? As a club, we want players to be happy. Players who are unhappy can leave, we’ve always said that.

"We will decide together, whoever stays at the club must be happy to be part of Juve.

"Juventus did an extraordinary job this season. We worked hard but now it’s time to focus on the challenges of the future. We want to win more trophies but we know it’s not going to be easy."

But now Max Allegri seems to want him as part of his side for the coming season.

Mandzukic helped Croatia kick-start their World Cup campaign with a win over Nigeria.

And he played a key role as the smashed an out of sorta Argentina 3-0 in the second match.

Mandzukic, 32, leads the line for the Croats and is hoping to fire in the goals.

He struggled for goals last year, hitting just five in Serie A and four in the Champions League in 38 appearances.

He is yet to score in the tournament and will be hoping to get off the mark against Australia in the final group game next week.
