Manchester United Transfer News: Defender Svetozar Markovic Reportedly Wanted

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Partizan Belgrade's teenage defender Svetozar Markovic who has been described as the "new Sergio Ramos."

The Red Devils' Serbian scout Budimir Vujacic has been in touch with Partizan "to register their interest" in the 18-year-old centre-back, according to Samuel Luckhurst at the Manchester Evening News.

Markovic appears to have made an instant impression on United as he only made his Partizan debut in February in the UEFA Europa League defeat to Viktoria Plzen.

The defender can play at centre-back or at right-back, and he has made an impact on the international scene at youth level as he has captained Serbia's Under-16 and Under-17 teams.
