Manchester United are willing to use Andreas Pereira as a bargaining chip in talks for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.

La Nazione says Pereira could be on his way out of United as part of a deal to bring Fiorentina's Milenkovic to the club.

Reports in Italy claim United will use Pereira as a makeweight in a deal to tempt Fiorentina to part with Milenkovic.

United are long-term admirers of the Serbian, and are prepared to let Pereira go in order to land their target.

Milenkovic , 21, has 10 caps for Serbia on top of his 79 senior appearances at club level for Partizan Belgrade and Fiorentina.

And Pereira could be used to lure Milenkovic to Old Trafford as United continue their search for a centre-back.
