Manchester United have reportedly been given the opportunity to sign Roma striker and Man City vice-star Edin Dzeko.
Dzeko was left out of a 4-3 side Serie A victory over Spezia on Saturday and is training on his own after falling out with manager Paulo Fonseca.
Pep Guardiola ‘s side turned down the chance to be renamed but the Bosnian international could still end up in Manchester with Corriere dello Sport announcing he could be on his way to Old Trafford.
Man United were reportedly given the opportunity to sign Man City striker Edin Dzeko
Odion Ighalo’s loan deal with the Red Devils ended this month with the 31-year-old’s move back to Shanghai Shenhua, meaning there could be room for a new move forward.
Dzeko won five trophies with rivals City between 2011 and 2015 before leaving to join Roma.
The striker has been an important player for the Italians with 114 goals in 224 games but is likely to leave after his disagreement with Fonseca.

Dezko could be involved in swap contract with Alexis Sanchez until end of season
The pair went out after the sinking of Gianluca Gombar. The coach was fired after it emerged that Roma had made an illegal substitute in their Coppa Italia connection with Spezia.
Dzeko and the rest of his players reportedly refused training after the decision before a meeting was held to change their mind. However, the striker has been frozen out of the first team established since then.
He could stay in Italy with the striker in talks over a loan deal to Inter Milan that could move Alexis Sanchez to the other side.
Sanchez has two goals and four assists in 19 games this season after completing a permanent transfer from Man United last summer.
Dzeko has eight goals and two assists in all competitions. Roma are currently four points behind Inter in the Serie A table.
