Sources: Manchester United target former City striker Edin Dzeko

Manchester United are considering a January move for AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko after identifying the need for experienced reinforcements to the squad's attacking options, sources have told ESPN FC.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said earlier this month that the club will only make signings in January if they can offer long-term solutions at Old Trafford.

But sources have told ESPN FC that, despite the recent form of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and the emergence of 18-year-old Mason Greenwood this season, Solskjaer is determined to add a proven goalscorer during the transfer window -- and former Manchester City striker Dzeko has moved ahead of Juventus' Mario Mandzukic on United's list of targets.
