As reported by Calcimercato, Dusan Vlahovic might be the perfect replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, but Erik ten Hag will have to face tough competition from Arsenal.
In the January transfer window, the United board will be aiming to sign a striker, and the 22-year-old makes a perfect candidate for the club.
Calciomercato asserts that Arsenal is currently pressing really hard to sign the Serbian international. Losing Juventus’ striker to Arsenal would emphasise the current gap between the two clubs. Ten Hag’s ability to outlast the Gunners will be crucial.
The imposing striker transferred from Fiorentina to Juventus in January 2022 for approximately €80 million. However, he has struggled while playing for the Turin-based club, and it is obvious that Max Allegri’s Juve team would benefit from his departure. This winter, an early departure from the Italian giants would be best for all parties involved.

No doubt Vlahovic might perfectly replace Ronaldo at United. The offensive player has earned the moniker “the next Zlatan Ibrahimovic.” It’s a huge comparison, but the Juventus star is talented enough to follow in the footsteps of the Swedish legend.
Vlahovic, a centre-forward who stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall, loves to engage in physical combat with opposing defenders. Like Ibra did for them in the past, United are in desperate need of someone like the Serbian star to serve as a focal point for their attacking play.
Ten Hag would have an extremely dangerous side at his disposal if he had someone like that up front, along with the blazing and explosive pace on the flanks from players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho.
