Manchester United meet agent of Fiorentina defender

Manchester United met the agent of Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic on Wednesday, La Repubblica reports.

The meeting between the representatives of the Red Devils and the player's agent took place in Florence after La Viola's 1-0 home defeat against Parma.

The Serbia International is one of the top defensive targets of the Red Devils who have not given up on the 21-year-old who had been scouted several times by José Mourinho.

The departure of the Special One, however, has not changed the plans of the Red Devils who are still interested in signing Milenkovic and could make an offer in the January transfer window.


Milenkovic joined Fiorentina from Partizan in summer 2017 for just € 5 million. The versatile defender has now a € 35 million price-tag but his price could rise because of the interest of may other top clubs included Inter and Juventus.

Milenkovic's Fiorentina contract expires in 2022.

Manchester United are desperate to sign at least one new defender either in January or at the end of the season and Milenkovic is still one of the Red Devils' top targets.
