MARIO MANDZUKIC is being monitored by Manchester United and Arsenal

Mandzukic has scored 12 goals in 21 games for Bayern this season, but has seen his long-term future in Munich under threat from Lewandowski.

Lewandowski’s arrival could see the Croatian limited to appearances off the bench next season, with Pep Guardiola also comfortable playing without a striker.

And Mandzukic’s situation is being monitored by David Moyes and Arsene Wenger, although any move will have to wait until the summer.

The 27-year-old has also been linked with Juventus, but Moyes’ previous interest in the striker while manager at Everton could be revived.

Reports have also claimed that Mandzukic is on Wenger’s shortlist, although Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insists the German heavyweights are not considering a sale.

“We’re very happy with Mario,” Rummenigge. “He made a major contribution to us winning so many titles last year. I just have to think back to the goal in London.

“He’s a fantastic player who has come on leaps and bounds with Bayern.

“His contract runs until 2016 and I told his advisor in Marrakech that we would be willing to talk about an extension. We have absolutely no intention of selling Mario.”

However, Mandzukic could force a move were he to become back-up at the Allianz Arena to Lewandowski.

Mario Gomez left Bayern for Fiorentina this summer having fallen down the pecking order to Mandzukic himself.
