Manchester United have finally placed a €22 million tag on Nani to encourage Juventus to make a January offer for the winger.
Antonio Conte has been looking to add an offensive winger to his side and he had identified Nani as a possible target in the summer. During that time, United wanted Mirko Vucinic in exchange for Nani and the deal was about to be finalized but then Nani stayed at United and renewed his contract until 2018.
David Moyes has hardly used the former Sporting Lisbon star since he has taken over the Old Trafford seat and it seems he may be willing to sell a few players like Nani, Young, Valencia and Evra to bring in new talent.
Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez continues to get linked with Man United but I don't believe Moyes finds him as interesting as Sir Alex would have. Anyway, if Nani eventually leaves United to join Juventus, he would re-unite with his former teammate Carlos Tevez.
Recently, Juventus boss Antonio Conte said "it is difficult to see a Juve with Vucinic, Tevez and Llorente on the field at the same time". Obviously, it is an indication that the two new star strikers would form a partnership up-front because it suits Juve's style of football. It also means that Vucinic could be given a secondary role, either to play on the wings or warm the bench!
United have been interested in Vucinic since he was at Roma and the interest intensified when Cristiano Ronaldo left United, but somehow the transfer could never happen. With Wayne Rooney looking certain to leave United, David Moyes might tempt the Montenegrin striker with a chance of playing regular football. Surely, we have Chicharito, Welbeck and Zaha along with RVP, but a striker of Vucininc's quality would be a great addition.
If at all Vucinic decides to leave Juventus, United may have to lock horns with AC Milan and Zenit St Petersburg who want to bring the attacker on board.
What possibility do you see of Mirko Vucinic to Manchester United?
