It is believed that a new deal has not been offered to the Bosnian, who is approaching his 37th birthday in March.

The Red Devils are in the market for another forward following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

After missing out on Cody Gakpo, the club have moved on to a number of targets and have been linked with moves for players such as Joao Felix, Wout Weghorst and Marcus Thuram.

However, the club are now interested in signing the former Premier League winner, according to Calcio Mercato.

Dzeko has been in good form for the Serie A giants this season, scoring seven goals and assisting two more in his 17 appearances in the league.

He has also been consistent in the Champions League, scoring three goals in six group-stage games.

The 36-year-old could offer manager Erik ten Hag a different option up front as he can play as a more traditional target man.

However, the report does suggest that La Liga giants Real Madrid are also interested in signing Dzeko.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are believed to want another striker option that can challenge Karim Benzema for a starting spot in the team.

Dzeko was a prolific striker during his spell in England with the Citizens, as he scored 72 goals and assisted 38 in his 189 appearances for the club.
