Fiorentina have reportedly turned down Manchester United's €60 million (£52.8 million) offer for defender Nikola Milenkovic, who is understood to have impressed Jose Mourinho during the international break.
La Nazione (h/t Calciomercato.com) reported the Red Devils manager was in awe of the 21-year-old's display in Serbia's 2-0 UEFA Nations League win over Montenegro on Thursday and instructed his board to launch a move, which has since been rejected.
It's suggested La Viola turned the bid down as they'd prefer not to sell during the winter transfer window.
