Manchester United will send a scout to watch the Fiorentina central defender Nikola Milenkovic on Sunday as they weigh up a move for the Serbia international.
Milenkovic, a powerful player also comfortable at right-back, is due to play at Bologna for the club he joined at the start of last season from Partizan Belgrade.
The 21-year-old is also being scouted by Juventus and was the subject of a failed €45m offer by Atlético Madrid last summer. He started all three of Serbia’s World Cup matches in Russia.
Milenkovic, who earns around £10,000 a week, has a contract to 2022.
