Manchester United will 'closely follow' the performances of Dusan Vlahovic ahead of the summer, according to reports in Italy.
United look set for a summer of significant spending as Erik ten Hag continues to shape the team to his demands. One of the Dutchman's priorities is a new centre forward, with a number of high-profile targets being monitored during the second half of the season.
Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane are both on the club's radar but would command fees in excess of €100million. And reports now suggest a cheaper target could be Juventus forward Vlahovic.

According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, United and Arsenal are both keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, with Juve considering a possible €80m summer sale. The Italian giants have become embroiled in a transfer scandal, their subsequent 15-point deduction making Champions League qualification almost impossible and the sale of top talent to recoup their losses vital.
Elsewhere, The Athletic report that United offered Axel Tuanzebe to Premier League rivals Leeds United on deadline day.
Tuanzebe returned to full first-team training in January following a long spell out with injury, eventually leaving for Championship outfit Stoke City on loan. With the 25-year-old's contract set to expire in the summer, a move to the Bet365 Stadium could signal the end of his time at United.
Leeds were thought to be in the market for a defender following the deadline day departure of Diego Llorente, and sensing an opportunity to give a fringe player regular top-flight football, Ten Hag's side reportedly offered Tuanzebe to the Whites.
The defender eventually left for Stoke in the fifth loan move of his career - three of which came in different spells at Aston Villa.
