MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly reignited their interest in Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants the 25-year-old to team up with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in the midfield.

The Serbian star has scored eight goals for Lazio this season

According to FootMercato, the Red Devils are plotting a summer swoop for the Serbian.

United will face competition from the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham, Juventus and Real Madrid.

Paris-Saint Germain are also interested, but their first bid of £54million was rejected.

Last season Lazio demanded a fee in the region of £90m for the Serbia international.

But it is believed that £63m will be enough to secure his signature this summer.

Milinkovic-Savic has chipped in this season with eight goals and five assists.

Lazio want to keep hold of him – but have admitted the midfielder’s future remains in his own hands.

He is under contract with the Serie A club until 2024 after joining them from Genk in 2015.

Manchester United have also been linked to Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish.

But SunSport exclusively revealed the 24-year-old fears being priced out of a move to Old Trafford.

Jude Bellingham was high on the club’s wishlist, but he has snubbed United to join Dortmund.

Leicester star James Maddison had also emerged as a target as part of the club’s midfield makeover.

But the Foxes midfielder has committed himself to the club until 2025 with a double-your-money deal.
