Tottenham and Manchester United are reportedly keen on Nikola Milenkovic.
Manchester United and Tottenham have both been credited with interest in Serbia defender Nikola Milenkovic, the Mirror reported earlier this month.
Tottenham eye the Fiorentina ace as a potential replacement for Toby Alderweireld.
Milenkovic starred at the World Cup for Serbia and has been compared to Nemanja Vidic.
He could be an ideal signing for Vidic’s former club Manchester United, but the Red Devils are reportedly hesitant.
United have spent big on Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof, neither of which have yet to command a must start role in a similar way to Vidic’s former stature at the Red Devils.
There would be big pressure on Milenkovic and United are weighing up their options as Milenkovic, conservatively priced at £30 million, would not come cheap.
United’s hesitance should not be shared by Tottenham.
Spurs are not under the same sort of pressure at United and Mauricio Pochettino could afford to ease the Serbian into action, even if Alderweireld leaves.
Tottenham should go all in on Milenkovic this January, and leave United to regret not moving.
