Update : agent reveals £59m-ratedmidfielder 'wants to go to Man Utd' ,the midfielder that is better than De bruyne with his vision coming with Ten hag surely .

 

Manchester United have received a 

boost in their pursuit of Lazio midfielder

 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after his 

agent revealed the highly-rated Serbian

 star wants a move to Old Trafford.

Milinkovic-Savic, who would cost 

around £59million, has long been linked 

with United as they seek to replace Paul Pogba.

The beleaguered Old Trafford club will 

be in the market for midfielders under new 

manager Erik ten Hag in the summer as 

Nemanja Matic has already confirmed 

he will be leaving the club, while Pogba

 is expected to depart when his contract 

expires at the end of the season.

Central midfield has long been a problem

 position for United, with Milinkovic-

Savic seen as a potential solution.

The 27-year-old has attracted the interest

 of PSG - who he is also in talks with -

 but the players agent Mateja Kezman told

 the Foot01 website that United was his 

preferred choice.

'Sergej has no shortage of offers for the 

summer transfer window,' said former 

Chelsea flop Kezman.

'

At the moment we are dealing with 

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

'He is focused on the end of the season 

with Lazio, but Sergej wants to go 

to Manchester.'

Milinkovic-Savic appears set to leave

 Lazio in the upcoming transfer window

 and has also been linked with a move

 to Juventus.

The Serbian international has scored 

10 goals and made 12 assists in 44 appearances

 for the Italian side this season.

Corriere dello Sport reported Chelsea 

midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is being 

lined up to replace Milinkovic-Savic 

should he depart the Serie 'A' club.

Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri is believed

 to be an admirer of Loftus-Cheek having

 worked with the player during his sole

 season as Chelsea manager in 2018-19.
