Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic insists he is happy at Lazio and doesn't care that scouts from some of Europe's leading clubs have been watching him.

Juventus and Manchester City have also been linked with the 22-year-old Serbia international midfielder, who is one of the most sought-after players in Europe at the moment.

Representatives from United, as well as Chelsea, Barcelona and Monaco were reportedly in attendance as he scored twice in Lazio's 3-3 draw at Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday.
