Man Utd offered chance to stun rivals with swoop for available Serie A star Manchester United have been given the chance to sign Edin Dzeko, but seem unlikely to take up the offer, according to reports. Dzeko previously spent five years in the Premier League with their rivals Manchester City. Since leaving them in 2015, he has gone on to become one of Roma’s best ever goalscorers. Still sharp at the age of 34, he has scored seven goals from 15 games in Serie A so far this season. However, he won’t be adding to those tallies any time soon. That’s because he has fallen out with his head coach, Paulo Fonseca. If the two cannot resolve their differences, the former City star could be on the move this week. His agent has been trying to find a new destination for him, and a return to the Premier League would be an option. It has been claimed that West Ham have made the most concrete offer, but he isn’t convinced by them. Dzeko would prefer to play for a bigger club, and there has been talk of a return to Manchester.
