The AS Roma striker has reportedly fallen out with manager Paulo Fonseca and is desperate to secure a move away from the Serie A club.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Dzeko's new agent has been in contact with United, who have signed veteran strikers in recent transfer windows but are facing a race against time should they want to add the 34-year-old to their playing roster.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, however, did state recently that he does not expect any deadline-day arrivals at his club, casting doubt as to whether or not United are really after the former City forward.

"Bar something surprising happening I don't think anything will happen in terms of incomings, no," he said, as quoted by the Daily Express.
