Manchester United 's lack of depth in midfield was evident when Paul Pogba was injured.

Jose Mourinho bemoaned the loss of his French talisman but now appears to be addressing it.

The Red Devils have sent scouts to watch Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to reports.

They'll face competition from Manchester City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

His impact in helping the Biancocelesti turn around the game against Sampdoria from a 1-0 deficit to a 2-1 lead is thought to have further convinced United to make a move.

Arsene Wenger hits back at Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho's Alexandre Lacazette comments

Arsenal's manager has hit back at Jose Mourinho after the Manchester United manager's comments regarding Alexandre Lacazette, report football.london.

The France striker was at the centre of an unusual side-story ahead of last weekend's clash between Arsenal and Manchester United at the Emirates.

Having been replaced at half-time of the win against Huddersfield immediately before the United game, Lacazette had been ruled out by Wenger due to a groin injury.

But then he was named in the starting XI to take on United and completed the full 90 minutes, scoring Arsenal's goal in the 3-1 defeat.

Mourinho aimed a dig at Wenger after the clash and has now followed that up with some fresh jibes when giving out his team news ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby.
