Man United: How do Frenkie de Jong and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic compare?

For what seems like the tenth consecutive summer, Manchester United are being linked with a move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

With their pursuit of Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong - the player wanted by new manager Erik ten Hag above all others this summer - seemingly stalling, the Old Trafford club have been forced to look at alternatives.

Reports in Spain suggest that De Jong would only leave Barcelona for United's Premier League rivals Chelsea.
