Jose Mourinho will watch the UEFA Nations League match between Montenegro and Serbia at the Podgorcia City Stadium on Thursday to scout Nikola Milenkovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Potential targets Fiorentina defender Milenkovic and Lazio midfielder Milinkovic-Savic have both impressed in Serie A this season, with Viola and I Biancocelesti making positive starts to the campaign.
Mourinho had been after a centre back during the summer transfer window and failed to land one but now, according to the Sun, he has turned his attention to Milenkovic, the 20-year-old central defender.
Milenkovic’s physicality, fearlessness, and ability to read the game have drawn comparisons to former United captain Nemanja Vidic from some.
