STUTTGART striker Sasa Kalajdzic reportedly wants to join Manchester United this summer.
The Red Devils are currently on the hunt for a new attacker following the departure of Edinson Cavani.
After missing out on signing Darwin Nunez, who joined Liverpool from Benfica when the transfer window opened, new boss Erik ten Hag identified Kalajdzic as the perfect alternative.

He has less than one year remaining on his current contract, so he could be sold for as little as £17million this summer.
And according to Sky Sports, Kalajdzic is very keen to make the move to Old Trafford.
