Man Utd set to battle PSG for box-to-box midfielder

Manchester United are set to battle it out with Paris Saint-Germain for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Tuttomercatoweb claims.

The Red Devils are expected to pursue a new central midfielder this summer with the anticipated exit of Paul Pogba.

Pogba has just over three months left on his contract, and he appears set to leave the club on a free transfer soon.

Amidst this, the Red Devils have revived their long-term pursuit of Milinkovic-Savic, but face competition.

PSG are also weighing up a move for the Lazio midfielder. This could prove a huge blow in United's transfer pursuit.

Les Parisiens are currently assured of Champions League football for next season unlike United, who are struggling.

They are languishing in the sixth position in the league, four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand.

Elsewhere, the price tag could be another major stumbling block. Lazio want at least €70m for his services.

The Serie A outfit have no plans to negotiate on the sum.
