Savic played for just one season at City before he was swapped as part of the Matija Nastasic transfer from Fiorentina.

He made just five league starts for City but has greatly impressed in the Viola defence, making over 80 appearances in under three seasons.

And now the 24-year-old is attracting the eye of some of Europe's big clubs, with United - alongside Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund - keen on signing the defender, agent Zarko Pelicic claims.

“For now Stefan will stay in Florence and go forward with Fiorentina, where he’s very happy," Pelicic told CalcioNews24.

“Of course he’s happy when he hears that clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund are interested in him.

“He knows what he’s got, and he knows his time is coming.”
