Manchester United transfer news: United receive boost in midfielder chase, Juventus want United star and more - 20th November 2018

#2 Manchester United handed boost in Milinkovic-Savic chase

SS Lazio v SPAL - Serie A

A massive good news for Manchester United seems to have come out of the rumour mill today. The club have reportedly received a boost in their hunt for Serbian powerhouse Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after Lazio president Claudio Lotito refused to rule out the idea of selling him.

Lazio were successful in warding off a number of top clubs, including Manchester United, by slapping a £100 million price on the midfielder this summer. However, Lolito believes the club will have difficulty in holding on to their star if any of the interested clubs make a huge offer.

Speaking to Calciomercato regarding the player's future, Lolito said:

"In today's football, it's difficult for a player to tie himself to just one club for the rest of his career, but at Lazio we are doing well. Our players show great affection to the club."

"Milinkovic-Savic? Unfortunately, Lazio don't have the same economic potential as Barcelona and Real Madrid."

"When the conditions are on our side and an offer you can't refuse arrives, then we will face the matter."
