United not in pursuit of Milenkovic

In recent months, Nikola Milenkovic's name has been strongly linked to some of Europe's elite, such as Atletico Madrid. Now, United have emerged as potential suitors. 

However, 'Tuttosport' claim that the 'Red Devils' have denied even having made Fiorentina an offer to bring in the defender. 

The defender has played nine games so far this season, scoring two goals in the process. His height is an asset that has attracted Europe's big guns, but for the moment everything seems to indicate that he will stay with Fiorentina. 

Manchester United have been chasing defensive reinforcements for some time, also being linked with Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld and Leicester's Harry Maguire.
