Fans react on Twitter to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic performance
Serbia took on Costa Rica in the World Cup today and pu🃏t in a solid performance, eventually coming away with a 1-0 win. Aleksandar Kolarov scored the winner with a fanꦏtastic long-range free-kick.
But for Manchester United fans the man t💯o watch was Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Tipped by The Boot Ro🐬om as one of 10 players to watch at the World Cup he has been linked with 🐬a move to United recently.
did he live up to the hype?
The rဣeaction to his performance was, in parts, mixed.
What was clear is that Milinkovic-Savic is a fantastic talent. Big and strong he rivals United midfield♛er and Serbia teammate Ne꧅manja Matic for physicality.
But he is also extremely agile and nimbl🎃e. Quick-footed, he often left Costa Rica players chasing shadows with some brilliant skill.
The highlight of his performance was perhaps an overhead kick attempt in the first-half. He leaped out of nowhere, defying his ⛦frame, before unleashing an aဣcrobatic effort at Keylor Navas’ goal.
It was a good performance and one perhaps more indicative of 🌼potential than the finished article. Manchester United are undoubtedly in the running for the player but𓆏 are not alone, with Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain all chasing the player.
His display v Costa Rica certainly showed why there is so much hype over a pl𝔍ayer who can do so many different jobs in midfield. Improvements still need to be made, but the raw talent is clearly there.
Here is how fans reacted on Twitter…
We need Milinkovic-Savic.. I repeat [we need Mil▨ink🐷ovic-Savic]

It doesn’t make sense to want Milinkovic-Savic at Manchester United. He does exactly what Pogba does. Don💧t be a sheep, use you൲r head.

Milinkovic-Savic was brilliant today he can do a fantastic job for in a midfield 3 along side Pogba and Matic at £88m will be a bargain now if Serbia advance into thꦏe knock out stage

On the𝕴 basis of today’s 💎game and no previous evidence, I really like the look of this Milinkovic-Savic fella. There’s not many players who aren’t heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford these days, but this seems to be one I would be all for.

Fred
And,
