£107.6m target admits ‘the Manchester United story is finished’

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic says that his “Manchester United story is finished” after the closure of the Premier League transfer window.

Milinkovic-Savic was linked with a move to England for the 427th consecutive summer for a quite ridiculous £107.6m.

United opted to sign no midfielders at all, leaving Milinkovic-Savic at Lazio for another season despite intense reported interest.

The 24-year-old insists he is fine with how things have turned out as he prepares for a fifth straight year in Italy.

“The Premier League transfer window is shut, so the Manchester United story is finished,” he told Serbian outlet Espreso.

“I wasn’t irritated by everything that was written in the papers, because my mind was concentrated on preparing for the new season in the best possible way.

“I am where I am and I want for nothing at Lazio. I don’t think much about the transfer market.

“All sorts of things were written about me, but I know where my mind is and who I have a contract with.”
