Manchester United's assistant manager Mike Phelan has admitted that his club are one of a growing number taking a look at Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.

The 23-year-old Bosnia international frontman is expected to leave the German champions next summer, with AC Milan his preferred destination.

However, Phelan has confirmed that United are keen to tempt Dzeko to try his luck at Old Trafford.

He told reporters: "I'm sure there are a number of teams looking at him. Are we one on them? We are looking at talent all of the time and we are in there with the rest of them.

"He showed his threat in the (Champions League) game at Old Trafford and he appeals because he is a tall, skilful boy and in some ways he is an ideal player for the English league.

"He has stature, his feet are good and he is producing some good performances. I am sure everybody has looked at him."
