Manchester United have reportedly made an enquiry over the availability of highly-rated Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano understands that although no official bid has been made for the 23-year-old, the Red Devils are extremely interested in the player.

The Serbian plays in the central midfield and was instrumental in his side’s run to the quarter-finals of the Europa League and a fifth-place finish in Serie A.
He moved to Italy three years ago from Belgian side Genk, where he cost his current club £16m.
Should United wish to move for Milinkovic-Savic this summer, he will reportedly cost at least €100m as he has become one of the most coveted talents in Italy.
The player is known for his box-to-box style of play, but also brings a number of physical attributes given his six-foot-four-inch frame. He also has a keen eye for goal, scoring 14 goals in 48 appearances this season in addition to providing six assists.
The 23-year-old will be a key part of Serbia’s squad at the World Cup this summer, and his nation have been grouped with Costa Rica, Switzerland and Brazil.
United are currently lacking in the midfield department, with Michael Carrick retiring from football and Marouane Fellaini looking increasingly likely to exit Old Trafford.
