Manchester United are interested in the services of Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic, according to reports.
Sasa Kalajdzic joined Stuttgart in 2019, after departing his home country of Austria.
The German outfit are believed to have paid less than 3 million pounds to land the hitman, which has since proven quite the bargain.
In 33 Bundesliga outings in 2020/21, the 25-year-old scored 17 goals, as well as providing six assists.
The hitman has since been impacted by a shoulder injury that kept him out for a good chunk of the previous campaign.
However, Kalajdzic returned to action in January and is getting back to his best, netting six and assisting two in 15 league outings for his current side.
Kalajdzic, whose current contract runs until 2023, also became a regular at international level after making his debut for Austria in October of 2020.

Manchester United eye Kalajdzic
Now, according to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are, along with Brian Brobbey, interested in Kalajdzic.
It is added that talks with the forward’s representatives have taken place, but there has been no meeting with the player yet.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also previously been linked with the striker. However, the two German giants are not currently believed to be interested in signing Kalajdzic:
❗️News #Kalajdzic: He is a candidate for #MUFC next to Brobbey from Leipzig. Talks with the management from Kalajdzic have taken place but no personal meeting so far. Manchester United is very interesting for him. Bayern and Dortmund are not in. @SkySportDE @Sky_Marc 🇦🇹
