A report from Tuttomercatoweb has claimed that the 27-year-old Celtic right-back only has a move to Manchester United in his mind.

Major West Ham blow as Juranovic makes Manchester United decision
The the 27-year-old reportedly waiting for a call from Man United, the Hammers’ hopes of singing him seem bleak.
And that’s a real shame because Juranovic would be a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson at the London Stadium.
His performances for Croatia during the World Cup were truly sensational. Juranovic has been a really solid performer for Celtic this season as well.
The Croatian is a very solid operator, and he has mightily impressive pace as well.
Juranovic is incredibly strong and has energy and stamina to burn.
The Celtic man could be available for as little as £7 million as well this month, according to Daily Record.
That would represent unbelievable value for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
So Manchester United signing Juranovic will undoubtedly be a major blow for West Ham in the January transfer window.
