Manchester United target Sasa Kalajdzic is interested in a move to Old Trafford, according to reports.
United boss Erik ten Hag has been looking to improve his attacking line up all summer, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave the club.

Since, he has been a star for them since playing in the German top flight, attracting interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

He is also a full Austrian international since 2020, making 15 appearances for them in that time and scoring four goals in the process.
