*Mourinho Scouts Sergej Milinkovic-Savic*

Jose Mourinho was on a scouting mission to see Sergej Milinkovic-Savic when he watched Serbia's win over Montenegro, as per reports.

The Manchester United manager was in Montenegro as Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic double helped Serbia to a 2-0 away victory in Podgorica on Thursday in their UEFA Nations League match.

Milinkovic-Savic, who has been a long-term transfer target for United, came on as a substitute for the final 10 minutes of the match and set up Mitrovic's second with a back-heeled assist.

The 23-year-old Lazio midfielder signed a new deal with the Italian club earlier this month.

The scouting trip comes in the same week Mourinho meets with United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
