#4 Manchester United in talks with Nikola Milenkovic

Manchester United have looked a completely different team under interim Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, with two convincing wins.

Former manager Jose Mourinho, who was fired as manager of Manchester United last week, spoke time and again about the vulnerability of his defence and how he needed a top quality centre-back at the heart of his defence.

One player that the Portuguese manager was linked with was Nikola Milenkovic, the Serbian centre-back who plays for Italian side Fiorentina. La Repubblica are reporting that the Red Devils are still interested in signing the centre-back, who will cost them £45 million.

United have five centre-backs in the senior team - Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly, and Victor Lindelof, but none of them are deemed to be good enough for Manchester United, currently.
