MANCHESTER UNITED have reignited their interest in Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic, according to reports.
The centre-back, 24, has been on United's transfer radar since 2018, when Jose Mourinho was manager.
The former manager reportedly watched the centre-back in action and the club have been fans ever since.
A deal has never been worked out due to Fiorentina's desire to keep him.
But now the Red Devils could sign the Serbian for as little as £13million, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
United could face competition for Milenkovic from Italian champions Inter Milan.
Liverpool and Tottenham were also linked with the defender last summer after Milenkovic revealed he would not be signing a new contract.
Arsenal were also said to be interested before signing Ben White.
But Milenkovic is reportedly open to an Old Trafford switch with his current deal expiring in 2023.
That means Fiorentina could be willing to finally sell, knowing next summer is their last opportunity to fetch a decent fee for the star.
