Milinkovic-Savic happy that Mourinho watched him against Montenegro

Although the Lazio midfielder has recently signed a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico, he was flattered that one of the world's most recognisable managers came to see him play.  

He has been persistently linked with a big money move to Old Trafford, with Lazio valuing him at £86.7million and their beleaguered manager was there to watch him on Thursday.

Milinkovic-Savic came on with 10 minutes to go in the encounter and set up Fulham forward Alexander Mitrovic with a deft backheel to seal a 2-0 victory for his side. 

Speaking after the game he said: ''I am a Lazio player but it is obvious that I was pleased that a coach of his stature came to watch the match.' 

''I read a little bit everywhere he was here at the stadium to see me play, but that does not mean anything. Maybe he was not here for me, but for someone else.''
