The Red Devils have been looking for a defender in the January transfer window. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been linked with Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld, according to Goal, and could have to pay £35million for him. While UOL Esporte claimed Porto star Eder Militao wants a move to England, which United could capitalise on. And the latest player to be linked with the club is Milenkovic, the Serbian defender with 35 appearances for Fiorentina. And the latest player to be linked with the club is Milenkovic, the Serbian defender with 35 appearances for Fiorentina. Footage has now emerged of what the 21-year-old can do. In highlights from Serie A, the youngster can be seen harassing the opposition and denying any room. Milenkovic has the pace to keep up with attacking forwards, blocking any crosses that come in. But the 21-year-old is also light on his feet while moving the ball quickly to create space. And the Serb has an eye for goal, as seen in the first game of the season against Chievo. The clip shows him in the opposition’s half after only seven minutes. He stops the counter-attack dead before spotting his opportunity to strike. Milenkovic volleys the ball from 30 yards and finds the top-right corner. And United fans compared him to former defender Nemanja Vidic, who made 300 appearances for the club. “Since Vidic we have not had such a talented CB,” one supporter said. “United should grab him as soon as possible.” Another commented: “He’s a pitbull.” While a third simply said: “The new Vidic.” This comes as football finance boffin Kieran Maguire revealed the huge war chest Solskjaer will be offered this season.
