3 players who could have replaced Paul Pogba at Manchester United

#1 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Milinkovic-Savic will be the ideal replacement for Pogba

The Serbian Midfielder was recently seen in the World Cup along with Manchester United midfield marshall Nemanja Matic and it was reported that Matic was trying to convince his International teammate to become his club teammate. Those rumours seemed to have lost steam after the World Cup, but one cannot deny that the Serbian would be a perfect replacement for Pogba. In fact, Lazio President has even claimed that the Serbian is better than Pogba and it is hard not to agree.

Milinkovic-Savic is only 23 years old and he is already the midfield kingpin of his club and his country. He joined Lazio in 2015 and took the World by storm in a few years, scoring 25 goals in 122 appearances.

He is a technically gifted midfielder who has a ferocious volley in him and he is a very strong attacking midfielder, with fantastic finishing abilities, but he also has the strength and the physic that makes him an asset defensively and it is not hard to see why Mourinho fancies him.

He would be a perfect fit for Manchester United, and in the event that Pogba actually leaves for Barcelona, Manchester United should go all out for the Lazio man.

What the Papers say

Manchester United already have a bid of €100m rejected by Lazio. Now, Lazio President has come out and said that only a World Record bid could wrestle the midfielder away from his club. Expect this one to go down to the wire.
