Manchester United have reportedly identified the 'heir' to Paul Pogba, with Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic once again being linked with an Old Trafford switch.
The Serbia international's name has rarely been far from United transfer rumours in recent seasons. And with United looking to bolster their options in midfield this summer, he has once again found himself tipped to move to the Premier League.
Gazzetta dello Sport have suggested (via Sport Witness) United are back in the running to sign Milinkovic-Savic, with €80million (£66.5m) being quoted as the figure needed to take him off Lazio’s hands. United view the Serbian as a direct replacement for Pogba, but they aren't the only side interested in signing him.

Calciomercato claim Paris Saint-Germain are competing with them for the midfielder’s signature and are in a position to convince Lazio into a sale. Excited PSG fans are viewing Milinkovic-Savic's recent trip to Paris as a prelude to a summer transfer.
The report does add that the 27-year-old’s visit to the French capital wasn’t linked to a potential move to PSG. However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are said to be interested, with sporting director Leonardo understood to have been an admirer of the Lazio man for some time.
Meanwhile, Juventus have reportedly tabled a bid as they look to bring Pogba back to Italy. The Frenchman has just a few months left on his deal at United and is widely expected to be on his way out of the club this summer.
Juventus are one of the clubs said to be interested, with Pogba understood to be open to a return to Turin. Real Madrid and PSG have also been linked.
Journalist Rudy Galetti (via Sport Witness) claims Juve have stolen a march on their rivals by submitting an early offer to the World Cup winner. The Italian giants are said to be offering a salary of €9m (£7.5m) per season, plus bonuses of around €3m (£2.5m).
