Manchester United are still in the hunt for a centre-back and have made an enquiry with Fiorentina for Nikola Milenkovic.

The Red Devils have shown interest in the 21-year-old defender previously and have made another approach for him this week, according to Gianluca di Marzio.

United reportedly made a bid for Milenkovic in January but their €40 million offer was turned down with the Italian outfit holding out for €50m.

Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer’s side have returned to training without a new centre-back which was thought to be the top priority this summer.

Advances for the likes of Mathijs de Ligt, Issa Diop and Harry Maguire have so far been unsuccessful but in Milenkovic they face a real possibility of prying him away from La Viola.

However, the Serbian has been growing in stature in recent months and has attracted interest from other clubs too though no concrete links have been made.
