Man United Despite stubborn connections, I’ve never been able to get a deal across the line.
Milinkovic-Savic, 28, has left Lazio for good and joined Al-Hilal for £34million.
The midfielder joins the likes of Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly on the road to four-time Asian Champions League winners.
Neves joined Al-Hilal from Wolves for £47m earlier in the summer.
While Chelsea flopped Koulibaly left the Blues for Al-Hilal in a £17m deal.
Milinkovic-Savic had more league goals and assists than the United star last season Bruno Fernandes.
Since moving to Italy in 2015, he has been linked with the biggest clubs in Europe – including Real Madrid, Man United and PSG.
Overall, he scored 57 goals and provided 49 assists in 267 Serie A games.
