Well, we’ll just have to find another striker to link United and Arsenal with.
Louis van Gaal and Arsene Wenger are chasing what seems to be around 721 strikers between them this summer.
Any time an attacker is half available, he’s either on his way to the Emirates or Old Trafford.
But we can cross Mario Mandzukic off that list because the Atletico Madrid player looks to have completed his move to Juventus to replace Carlos Tevez, according to manager Massimilano Allegri.
The boss at Turin is quoted in the Mirror in a not-so-subtle hint that the former Bayern forward is going to Italy. Okay, it wasn’t a hint, it was a confirmation and the signing is believed to be in the region of £12.8m.
Sure they could’ve gotten Raheem Sterling for four times that. Maybe.
“We do not have any to replace him [Tevez]. What we have to do is sign players and study the way they play,” the Champions League finalists’ boss explained.
“Mandzukic is on his way. H has scored everywhere he’s played. He has a lot of personality and plays at international level. He’ll do a good job.”
And then there were 720.
