Manchester United are looking to close the gap on rivals City, after seeing Pep Guardiola’s men romp to the Premier League title last season.
Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has already made moves this summer to strengthen his squad, with the notable addition of Brazilian Fred being one of the big talking points among punters here in the Tavern.
Despite the new additions, our landlord thinks a few more players need to be brought in, and he’s been having some in depth chats with some of the United fans over by the pool table this week about just what players the club should be looking to bring into Old Trafford.
One player who keeps getting a mention is Lazio midfielder Sergej-Milinkovic-Savic, who has been hugely impressive and drawn the attention of a whole host of onlookers over the past 18 months.
Valued at a whopping £63m by Transfermarkt, the Serbian is not going to be going anywhere on the cheap, but a move away from the Rome club is looking more and more likely.
Savic has the chance to impress on the world stage at this summer’s World Cup, and it’s a chance he will surely grab with both hands.
Comfortable in possession, and with an element of fight about him which would fit nicely in the United midfielder, the Lazio midfielder would be the perfect addition to what is already a multi-talented squad for Jose Mourinho to tinker with.
United fans, what do you think? Good signing? Let us know!
