United have reached a verbal agreement to sign Juventus striker Mandzukic in January. Mandzukic is said to have turned down a £7million-a-year deal with Qatari side Al-Rayyan and his camp have reached an agreement in place with United, who he will join on January 1. "When you sell two of your main strikers you need to bring in at least one, just in case," the former United striker said.
