Record-breaking Serie A striker makes it clear it's his dream to play for Man United

A record-breaking Serie A striker has made his feelings clear regarding a 'dream' move to Manchester United.

Man United recruited Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna during the summer transfer window, securing his services for £36.5 million.

The club also boasts Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the Old Trafford outfit from Atalanta for £72 million in the summer of 2023.

And there's another forward in Italy that hopes to follow in the footsteps of Zirkzee and Hojlund.

Lecce star Nikola Krstovic has said his 'dream' is to play for Man United.

The 24-year-old, who stands at 6 feet, 1 inches tall, joined the Serie A team from Dunajska Streda last summer.

He's only in his second season at the club but has set his sights on a future career switch to the Premier League giants.

"After the match against Torino he (Mirko Vucinic) told me 'think about the next one'. Where would I never play? In Bari. My dream is Manchester United," he revealed.

"It’s only the second year here in Lecce. I am very happy, both me and my family. We have friends and we’re enjoying it, so let’s think about the present.”

Krstovic made his competitive debut for Zeta, where he came on as a second-half substitute, becoming the youngest ever player to appear in a Montenegrin First League fixture, aged 16 years and 18 days.

He continued to break records following his £3.3 million transfer to the Italian team, where he became the first player in Lecce's history to score in his first three games with the club.

The Montenegrin international has nine goals and two assists to his name since joining Lecce.

Elsewhere, he has scored goals in the aforementioned Montenegrin First League, the Serbian SuperLiga and the Slovak Super Liga.
