Manchester United are ready to renew their interest in long-term transfer target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to reports.

The Lazio attacking midfielder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford on several occasions in the past.

Ralf Rangnick's side could face competition for the Serbian's signature, though.

However, the former Genk star moved to play down the speculation, writing on Instagram: "I see lot of rumours about me but… I don’t care! I just want Lazio to win."

“That comparison [with Zidane] can only flatter me,” he told FIFA.com in 2018.

“However, I see myself more as a Yaya Toure. As for idols, I can say I have always watched and looked up to Nemanja Matic as well.

“I can see myself as a future playmaker. That is how I like to play most, and my last season in Lazio has proved it.”
