Manchester United are weighing up a shock swoop for former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, according to reports.
The Red Devils are keen to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure by mutual consent last year.
United have been heavily linked with a loan move for Burnley striker Wout Weghorst, but they are also considering other options.
And according to Calcio Mercato, United have added Dzeko to their shortlist after learning that the Bosnian centre-forward could be available for transfer.
Dzeko, who is valued at just £3.5m by Transfermarkt, is out of contract at Inter in the summer.
The Nerazzurri are yet to open talks with the 36-year-old over an extension, potentially paving the way for United to steal in.
However, Erik ten Hag's team may have to do battle with Real Madrid, who are also interested in signing Dzeko.
The former City star, who won two Premier League titles with the club, has been in Italy since he left the Etihad Stadium in 2015.
Dzeko spent six years at Roma before moving north to Inter in the summer of 2021, since when he has scored 20 goals in 53 appearances in Serie A.
United beat Everton 3-1 on Friday to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Ten Hag's side will return to action in the EFL Cup quarter-final against Charlton on Tuesday.
