Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Manchester United are deemed favourites to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio.

The Red Devils were heavily linked with the 27-year-old in the summer, but a move did not materialise.

Although the Serbia international has begun the season with Lazio, he is currently being linked with a potential move away from Italy in the winter transfer window.

Manchester United reportedly remain undeterred in their efforts to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The Red Devils are going to improve their midfield options for the current campaign following their struggles against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

There has been a number of speculation surrounding Milinkovic-Savic’s future over the years, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Real Madrid all said to be keen on the Serbian.

Manchester United are weighing up a £42m bid for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Man United head coach Erik ten Hag wants to sign a new holding midfielder this summer, with Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong still a number one target.

However, the 25-year-old midfielder is still resisting a move to Old Trafford, despite speculations of the two clubs coming to an agreement over a move for a total package of £72m.
