Manchester United are keen on exploring a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic but face competition from Bayern Munich, according to reports.
United revamped their attacking options this summer with the signings of Mattheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
But the Red Devils appear to be keen to add to their options in January despite Sesko getting his first league goal for the club against Brentford last weekend.
Prior to signing Sesko from RB Leipzig, United had been credited with an interest in Vlahovic, who came close to joining Arsenal several summers ago.
But according to German publication Bild, the Red Devils could reignite their interest in the Serbian international as they look to provide Ruben Amorim with more attacking firepower.

Vlahovic has already scored twice in his five Serie A matches this season, but the 25-year-old finds himself down the pecking order after the summer signings of Lois Openda and Jonathan David.
Juventus expressed their willingness to sell Vlahovic in the summer, especially with the striker’s contract expiring in June 2026.
And the Italian giants will likely still be willing to cash in on Vlahovic in January to ensure they recoup some money for the forward, who they signed for £66million from Fiorentina in 2022.
United will not get a free run at securing Vlahovic’s services, though, with Bayern also said to be expressing an interest in signing the Juve striker.
The German giants have already made initial enquiries with the striker, but no serious negotiations have taken place nor an offer submitted.
Bayern already have Harry Kane and Nicolas Jackson on their books, although there is some doubt over thei rrespective futures at the club beyond this season.
Reports have suggested that Kane thas a €65m (£56.7m) release clause in his deal which can be activated next summer.
Jackson, meanwhile, arrived on loan from Chelsea in the summer, although Bayern can make the move permanent at the end of the season.
