MANCHESTER UNITED target Milan Mandzukic has shocked Europe's top clubs by swapping Juventus for Qatari league leaders Al-Duhail,
Croatia striker Mandzukic, 33, has regularly been linked with Old Trafford, especially after Juve boss Maurizio Sarri snubbed him all this season.
But United's interest is said to have waned last month and now the 2018 World Cup finalist, whose goal saw off England in the semis, has opted for what could be a big final pay-day in the Middle East.
United chief Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now seems likely to focus on recruiting fellow Norwegian Erling Haaland, 19, who has been in sensational scoring form for Austrians RB Salzburg forward.

The France Under-21 international is a wanted man across Europe after impressing in the middle of the park in Ligue 1.
And, according to L'Equipe, Lille are ready to cash in with former Swansea and Bayern Munich flop Renato Sanches having a renaissance season.
Soumare, who is under contract until summer 2023, could command a transfer fee of around £50MILLION.
Napoli, Real Madrid and Valencia have all been linked with the 6ft 2in midfielder, who has played 23 matches this season.
It was initially thought that Lille would push for a loan back to the club if he was moved on in the winter transfer window.
But the latest reports indicate they could well sell him outright.
NEMANJA MATIC and Marcos Rojo are being put up for sale by Manchester United.
According to reports, the pair are unwanted by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is ready to let them both leave after a lack of game time this season.

According to the Times, Rojo, 29, is on £160,000 a week at Old Trafford, while Matic, 31, is paid around £120,000 a week.
The Argentina international last played in the closing moments of United's 3-1 home win against Brighton in November and has been nursing an injury since.
Matic, meanwhile, has also suffered injuries this season, and has been restricted to cup games under Solskjaer.
