Dusan Vlahovic has made it clear what Manchester United and new boss Ruben Amorim can expect from him if a summer swap deal with Juventus goes through.
The Serbian striker is being linked with a move to Old Trafford, as part of a potential swap that would see Jadon Sancho head in the opposite direction to Turin.
Vlahovic is no longer in Juventus’ long-term plans and is available as he enters the final year of his contract.
Amorim, who is searching for a new striker to boost United’s attack, could see Vlahovic as a smart option both financially and on the pitch.
Vlahovic has already sent a very telling message about his mentality. Speaking back in 2022 to The Telegraph, the 25-year-old made it clear that pressure is something he embraces.
“I like pressure. I am totally dedicated to football,” Vlahovic said, dismissing any doubts about his ability to handle high expectations.
Manchester United have struggled in recent years with big-money signings who failed to deliver under the pressure of Old Trafford. Players like Sancho, who now looks set to leave, never reached their full potential with the club.
In contrast, Vlahovic is known for his strong mentality and work ethic. His confidence and focus suggest he could be the kind of player who thrives at United not one who crumbles.
With Vlahovic’s contract running down, a swap deal involving Sancho could be a smart move for both clubs. Juventus get an attacking winger in Sancho, while United land a proven goal-scorer who fits Amorim’s vision.
As negotiations continue, Vlahovic’s strong mindset and love for high-pressure moments could be exactly what Manchester United need in their next chapter.
