Sergej Milinkovic-Savic urged to snub Manchester United for Man City

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been encouraged to choose Manchester City over Manchester United if he finds himself in a situation to choose between the two Premier League giants.

Former Inter Milan defender Giuseppe Bergomi who is now working as a pundit and commentator has urged the player to consider City rather than United, where he would have a similar impact to Kevin de Bruyne.

Over the years, there have been rumours that Milinkovic Savic may join Old Trafford. However, neither party were able to decide on a transfer and the entire deal fell through.

The Serbian has been advised to avoid United, despite the fact that rumours grow every summer. As stated by the Manchester Evening News, Bergomi said:

“But why don’t the top clubs come to take him (Milinkovic-Savic)?” That’s what I’m wondering. He has to choose the right team for his qualities. If you send him to Manchester United it’s not good – if he goes to City he does like De Bruyne.”

The Serbian has now established himself as one of Biancocelesti’s top players. The 27-year-old is renowned for his cleverness in the middle of the field.

Fans believe that Milinkovic-Savic belongs at a club that can harbour his talent. The midfielder obviously possesses all the qualities needed to play for Europe’s top teams.

The Serbian midfielder would have a chance to join Man City but it is very unlikely that he will move to Etihad Stadium. Currently, Pep Guardiola’s side has a lot of options in the middle of the field in the form of Rodri, Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, and Gundogan.

However, the Lazio midfielder will have a greater impact at Old Trafford since United need improvement in their midfield area. Even after signing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, the Red Devils look short of options when it comes to quality in the starting XI.

Signing Milinkovic-Savic would add more steel to Erik Ten Hag’s new-look team.
