Man Utd target Milinkovic-Savic as De Jong's backup

Frenkie de Jong's continuity at FC Barcelona is up in the air. The Catalan giants had the priority of selling him this summer, but if his salary is reduced by half, he could be an good option for Xavi Hernandez.

Manchester United are still waiting for the Dutch international, as he is the top priority to strengthen their midfield. However, according to 'Sky Sports', the Red Devils want to have other alternatives and the chosen one is Milinkovic-Savic.

The same media reports that Erik ten Hag is tired of waiting for De Jong and needs to refinforce the miedfield. Thus, all eyes are on Lazio's Serbian midfielder.

The Italian club are asking for 70 million euros to let the 27-year-old leave the club, as his contract expires in June 2024 and the Italians have no need to look for a way out for the player.
