Manchester United finally recruits Milinkovic-Savic.
Not Al Hilal midfielder Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, who smashed Gwangju FC in the Asian Champions League. The main character is Sergei's younger brother, Turin goalkeeper Vanya Milinkovic-Savic.
Manchester United, as it is known, have been after Sergey for a long time. In particular, he was active under Jose Mourinho. Sergei was called Serie A's best midfielder when he played for Lazio. Sergei was truly a 'hexagonal midfielder' with all his strength, height, skill and physical strength, and determination.
In 2023, when big clubs including Manchester United were courting, Sergei moved to Al Hilal. I was shaken by the astronomical annual salary. Sergei also played a big part in Saudi Arabia. He has scored 10 goals in 26 games this season. In particular, he led the team to a 7-0 victory with a different level of performance in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League in the 2024-2025 season. Serge is the player who became more recognized after the game, which coach Lee Jung-hyo feared the most.
As much as he still boasts competitiveness, it is enough to play for Manchester United, which has poor midfield, but the player Manchester United currently wants is not Sergey. On the 6th (Korea time), The Sun of England said that after chasing Sergei for years, Manchester United turned to his brother to recruit at least one Milinkovic-Savic.
Vanya is one of Serie A's best goalkeepers this season. He played an active role as Turin's main goalkeeper. United have been struggling with goalkeeping issues this season. Main goalkeeper Andre Onana is even ridiculed as the `worst goalkeeper in Manchester United's history' Onana, who was recruited under the strong request of former coach Erik ten Hach, shows strength in the build-up, but has not been very impressive in defense. For Manchester United, which is seeking to rebound next season, recruiting goalkeepers is essential.
It's what's on the list. Vanya's contract with Turin expires in 2026, and Fabrizio Romano, the top authority in the transfer market, said Manchester United had already contacted Vanya.
What's interesting is that Vanya has already worn a Manchester United uniform. He left Serbia's Voivodina for Manchester United in 2014. He has been with Manchester United for 18 months, but has not played a game due to work commitments and other reasons. Banya, who has since gone through Voivodina and Lejia Gdansk, has moved to Turin, but has been on loan with Spal, Ascoli and Stendar Rieju, and is finally seeing the light of the season. He is also expanding his position in the Serbian national team.
