United have already strengthened their squad with the announcement of Matheus Cunha's £62.5 million move.
Now, they are looking for an established name who could come in and add both experience and hunger without breaking the bank.
Vlahovic scored ten goals for Juventus last season and has once again been linked to United in recent times as Ruben Amorim looks to rebuild the once-great club.
But Sunsport understands that the Serbian forward favours a move to AC Milan, if he agrees a deal with Juventus to go their separate ways this summer.
The 25-year-old has been in the headlines for months, with United among a host of clubs reportedly monitoring his situation at Juventus.
However, while United were thought to be favourites for his signature, Vlahovic is now set to stay in Italy.
Milan are desperate to strengthen their attacking options, and Vlahovic's potential arrival would be a huge coup for the Italian giants.
Reports from Italy suggest that the deal is already close to completion.

This will be the second blow for Manchester United in the last 24 hours, after news of an injury to goalkeeper Andre Onana.
The Cameroon goalkeeper was expected to remain as the club's number one for the coming season, but a hamstring injury means United could now have to return to the transfer market.
Why Man Utd could finally shift Jadon Sancho | Transfers Exposed
Recently the 13-time Premier League champions have been offered the chance to sign free agents Jamie Vardy, who left Leicester after the completion of his contract, as well as Callum Wilson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The Reds are also working on moving on players such as Marcus Rashford, who has returned to the club after his loan spell at Aston Villa, as well as Alejandro Garnacho, who the manager said could leave this summer after a falling out.

Prince George reveals he's 'alright at tennis' as he chats to Julian Cash at Wimbledon Final
Prince George has revealed he is 'alright at tennis'. The 11-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon Men's final yesterday. Ahead of the match, William, Kate, George and Charlotte chatted to doubles champions Julian Cash, just a day after he and and Lloyd Glasspool became the first all-British duo to win the title in 89 years. Chatting to the royals, Cash asked George and Charlotte if they play 'tennis'. The pair both nodded, before Cash replied, 'Are you good?'. The future king then modestly quipped: 'I was alright'. Later in the day, the Princess of Wales sweetly asked Jannik Sinner to sign a tennis ball for Prince Louis after her youngest son missed out on the Wimbledon Men's Final. Kate, 43, brought her two eldest children to watch the final at SW19 from the Royal Box, alongside their father Prince William, 43. Louis, who is only seven, was notably absent, but his parents made sure not to leave him out. After Sinner's triumphant defeat of two-time consecutive winner Carlos Alcaraz, Kate kindly asked the Italian player to sign a ball for her youngest son, so he 'doesn't get upset'. Charlotte and George looked tense as they watched the match from the royal box Clearly keeping her youngest close to her heart, both literally and figuratively, Kate accessorised her royal blue outfit with a 9ct gold pendant from Daniella Draper, complete with stunning gemstones. The £3,000 pendant is not only a glamorous accessory, but a sweet tribute to Prince Louis as the gems are the birthstone for April - the month Louis was born. In adorable footage taken after the game, George and Charlotte, who are said to be avid tennis fans, shook hands with the new men's victor and told them it was 'very nice to meet you.' And in a touching moment of motherly love, the Princess of Wales made sure to ask Sinner to sign three tennis balls, with one extra for Prince Louis who was no doubt waiting keenly at home. The royal laughed as she told the 23-year-old: 'We're taking one for their brother,' to which William chimed in: 'Louis will be upset otherwise.' Louis's older siblings politely thanked Sinner before their mother said: 'huge congratulations' and shook his hand. Mother-of-three Kate has been patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, also known as the AELTC (which organises the day-to-day running of the prestigious tournament), since 2016. The Princess looked radiant in a blue dress as she arrived at the All England Club for the second consecutive day yesterday - after presenting the trophy at the women's final on Saturday. Kate also wore her ' Wimbledon bow' - a brooch featuring the tournament's iconic colours - which it's believed she has worn every time she has visited Wimbledon. She debuted her green and purple bow back in 2017, when she paired it with a white, short-sleeved dress. More than just a mere accessory, the Princess's go-to Wimbledon brooch is actually a symbol of royal patronage, gifted to her from the Queen Elizabeth II. The women's 2025 final saw Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Asiminova 6-0, 6-0 in a match that lasted just under an hour. The Wales family looked delighted to meet the Wimbledon winner - as George and Charlotte handed him balls to sign The Princess of Wales looked radiant as she attended the men's 2025 Wimbledon final yesterday - and she carried a piece of Prince Louis with her Kate appeared overwhelmed upon arrival at the Royal Box on Centre Court and was welcomed by a huge chorus of cheers and a standing ovation. It was reminiscent of the reception she received last year, when she chose the tennis tournament as her first solo outing after taking time away from public duty while being treated for cancer. Yesterday's final saw Jannik Sinner take on Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz - of whom Princess Charlotte is known to be a fan. Charlotte delighted fans last year with her animated reactions as she watched her favourite player win the coveted trophy. Throughout the nail-biting match, the young royal winced, cheered and beamed, as she watched the players compete for the prestigious title. Kate took over the role of patron in 2016 from the late Queen who had held the position for 64 years. The accessory is worn by members of the Committee of Management during the Fortnight – the Main Board of the AELTC and representatives of the LTA. It signifies their responsibilities as the Committee governing the tournament. The Patron has always traditionally been given a Committee bow in recognition of her role, which is why the Duchess has chosen to wear it when visiting The Championships. Other individuals also given an honorary Committee bow are the Chief Executive. The present colours of dark green and purple were introduced in 1909 as the club's previous colours, blue, yellow, red and green, were too similar to those of the Royal Marines. The royal was praised for her Wimbledon outing on Saturday, after she consoled the tearful runner-up Amanda Asiminova who was thrashed by Iga Swiatek in the most one-sided Wimbledon final since 1911. Kate placed her hand on the American's arm and told her to 'keep your head high' following the 23-year-old's 6-0, 6-0 loss on Centre Court in just 57 minutes. Anisimova had to briefly leave the court following her humbling at the hands of an inspired Swiatek, 24, as she recorded a double bagel scoreline in the women's final - the first in 114 years and for only the second time in the tournament's history. Anisimova said meeting Kate 'was the positive of today' and told how she had been 'really kind'. Speaking after the match, she said: 'It was such an honour to meet her. 'I wasn't sure if she was going to come out today, if she was going to be there, so it's just really nice to see her. 'She definitely had a few things to say that were making me emotional again.' A tearful Anisimova wiped away tears during her post-match interview on court as she praised Swiatek and said she had 'run out of gas a bit today'. She was playing in her first Wimbledon final and said 'she would never forget this experience'. Anisimova broke down again as she mentioned how her mother had flew in from America that morning to watch her. The Princess of Wales, 43, presented the men's singles winner Jannik Sinner, 23, with his trophy 'Thank you for being here and breaking the superstition of not flying in - it isn't why I lost here,' she joked. Anisimova: 'I know I didn't have enough today but I will keep putting in the work and I hope to be back here one day.' A victorious Swiatek, the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon, also offered words of encouragement to Anisimova. 'First I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks. You should be proud of the work you are doing and I hope we will play more finals her,' she said. 'I didn't even dream, for me it was way too far. I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one. 'This year I really, really enjoyed it and feel I improved my form here. 'I am always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves! It is a sound that will keep me away at night!' The only ever time there has been a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in a Grand Slam final was in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva in the French Open. For her appearance on Saturday, Kate donned a custom Self-Portrait white ensemble. The two-piece outfit featured a high collared, military-style belted top and a flowing midi skirt. Kate has worn designs from Self-Portrait on a number of occasions, including a 2023 Wimbledon appearance, where she wore a similar two-piece outfit, but that time, in green. She finished the ensemble with a pair of Gianvito Rossi suede slingback heeled pumps in cream, and Anya Hindmarch's Neeson Small Square Tote bag in cream, which retails for £950. Her jewellery included a gold Halcyon Days bracelet and Cartier earrings. She also gave a sweet nod to her husband Prince William, wearing what appeared to be her Cartier Bleu watch, which Prince William gave her as an anniversary gift in 2014. Last year also saw Carlos Alcaraz in the final, which he won, beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets. After leaving the court following the trophy ceremony, the princess and Alcaraz had a conversation in a room inside the tournament's main stadium. 'You played so well,' Kate told him. 'Enjoy the win.'

Axel Tuanzebe sues Man United for alleged medical negligence
Axel Tuanzebe is suing his former club Manchester United for alleged negligent medical advice received during his time at Old Trafford. Defender Tuanzebe, who left United in the summer of 2023, filed a legal claim with the High Court last week in relation to a period from July 2022 involving an injury he had at the time. It is considered a high-value claim, which is understood to be more than £1m. He suffered hip and foot injuries during his spell at Old Trafford and the now-27-year-old was sidelined through injury for 195 days in his final season there before being loaned to Stoke in January 2023 and then joining Ipswich as a free agent in September 2023. At the time, a statement on United's official website about his exit read: 'His departure is an emotional one for the player and many at the club who have known and helped nurture him over the years. A fine character, he leaves United universally respected as a credit to himself and his family. 'Everyone at the club would like to extend our best wishes to Axel as he embarks upon the next chapter of his career. We would also like to thank him for always representing Manchester United with class and dignity.' After two years with the Tractor Boys, where he battled more injuries but made more than 40 appearances as first-choice right-back, he joined Burnley earlier this month after their recent promotion from the Championship. Tuanzebe joined United's academy at the age of eight and captained them at every level before making his senior debut in January 2017. However, he made just 37 appearances for the first team in the following six years. He had multiple spells on loan with Aston Villa and Napoli, while his final appearance for the Red Devils came in the 2021 Europa League final loss to Villarreal, where he scored in the shootout during an 11-10 defeat on penalties. Having represented England Under-21s, he now plays for DR Congo at senior international level – winning three caps since his 2024 debut. Tuanzebe's lawyers, Simons Muirhead Burton, and Manchester United have both declined to comment on the case so far.
