MANCHESTER UNITED target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is “better than Paul Pogba” claims Mateja Kezman.
Kezman is the Lazio star’s agent and reckons his client can become the most complete player in the world and scoop the coveted Ballon d’Or.
The 23-year-old midfielder has been outstanding in Serie A this term and his performances have put United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain on red alert.
The former Chelsea striker went a step further comparing his man to three-time Fifa World Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner Zinedine Zidane.
Kezman told : “When Sergej came to Italy, he was compared with Pogba, because at that moment it was probably the easiest comparison to make in terms of characteristics.
"I do really respect Pogba, let's be clear, and other linkers who can run and work for the team, but I think now Sergej has different and better quality than Pogba.

Kezman added:"He has remarkable attributes and you'll not find another player in the world with that power, muscular structure and height combined with technique and tactical awareness.
“He has the touch of a Brazilian and some of the things he does remind me of Zinedine Zidane.
"Milinkovic-Savic is the most effective midfielder in Europe right now, as he can score goals in a variety of ways and has a good head on his shoulders.
“I've played with Arjen Robben, Frank Lampard and some of the best in Europe and I think Sergej can surpass them if he keeps this up.
"He could soon be a candidate for the Ballon d'Or."
The Serb joined Lazio from Genk in 2015 and this season has scored 11 goals in 34 appearances.
Compare those numbers to Pogba who has hit three goals in 25 games this term.
