However, the Red Devils are not the only Premier League team interested in the 6ft, 6in ace, who is the tallest striker in the Bundesliga.

West Ham, Brighton and Southampton are also eyeing the Austria international but the Red Devils pose as the “most enticing” option.

The 25-year-old appears to be very keen on a move to the Premier League, which would make him the tallest striker in the English top flight, as that is his “main goal”.

United‘s new manager Erik ten Hag needs reinforcement in attack after the Manchester giants endured their worst ever Premier League campaign.

Ten Hag has already lost Edinson Cavani while Cristiano Ronaldo has informed the club of his desire to leave Old Trafford as he wants to play in the Champions League.

United are looking to boost their frontline and are already checking several targets out, such as RB Leipzig ace Brian Brobbey.

Reports also suggest the Red Devils are leading the race for former Juventus star Paulo Dybala, who is a free agent.

Kalajdzic is among their top targets as well but there has also been interest from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

The Austrian was seen as a potential replacement for wantaway superstar Robert Lewandowski but Bayern never showed any serious intent.

Dortmund also considered the centre-forward as Erling Haaland’s successor but they ultimately signed Sebastien Haller.

Nevertheless, Stuttgart sports director Sven Mislintat has not yet received any concrete offers for Kalajdzic, whose contract runs out next summer.
