Man Utd could line up a move for Ivan Perisic this summer if they miss out on signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, according to reports.
The Croatian winger joined Bayern Munich on a one-season loan last term from Inter Milan, with the Bundesliga team winning the national title and the Champions League.
Perisic is no stranger to German football, winning the national double with Dortmund in 2012, before winning the German Cup with Wolfsburg three years later.

The 31-year-old had been continuously linked with a move to Old Trafford in 2018. With José Mourinho, who was known to have rated Perisic highly, it was reported that he was unhappy at the time that United failed to get him and other top targets.
Reports from October 2018 claimed that Inter were willing to part ways with Perisic for £ 48 million in 2017, but that Man Utd Executive Vice President Ed Woodward and other members of the club’s hierarchy were unwilling to overcome. the player’s valuation of £ 45 million.
And now a new report on The Daily Telegraph They again link Perisic with a signing for Old Trafford with the newspaper stating that the Croatian, Gareth Bale and Douglas Costa “are the attacker profile that can be considered, depending on their availability.”
That comes as part of a report claiming that Man Utd is ‘ready to walk away from a summer deal for Jadon Sancho’ and has ‘done research on alternative forwards’. With Perisic presumably one of those options.
