DBasia.news – Bryan Robson, Manchester United legend, was not enthusiastic about welcoming the issue of the arrival of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio. According to him, Milinkovic is no better than the former Man United player, Marouane Fellaini.
Milinkovic-Savic was one of Man United’s targets besides Harry Maguire (Leicester City) and Bruno Fernandes (Sporting Lisbon). Reportedly, Man United agreed to pay Lazio’s official price and the player agreed to Old Trafford.
Although Lazio’s President, Claudio Lotito, has denied any offers from Man United. The issue of transfer from the Serbian midfielder is still rolling. Robson, the former United captain and midfielder, did not like Milinkovic-Savic.
The two judgments that underlie Robson’s comments are the fact that he was inconsistent last season, having performed well in the 2017-18 season. Second, the 24-year-old player was assessed by Robson as having no special ability.
Milinkovic-Savic is like the former Man United midfielder, Marouane Fellaini. Robson is worried, if there is Milinkovic-Savic, United will return to playing with the old method that fans don’t like: play the ball, hoping Milinkovic-Savic holds the ball and starts the attack.
“At the end of the 2017-18 season, I will say yes. “Milinkovic-Savic underwent a great season with Lazio in the previous year, before the World Cup, he played quite well,” said Robson, quoted from ESPN.
“However, he underwent a bad season with Lazio last year. He looks like a player who has only one ability. He is not really a feeder. He is a player who can welcome the ball on his chest when a cross arrives. “
“If the goalkeeper kicks the ball away, he will get it. He played almost like a second striker but from midfield position, and Man United fans would hate me by saying that he was only a better version of Fellaini, “concluded Robson.
