Is there another meaning to this post?

This World Cup has been the first time many people to see Sergej Milinković-Savić in action. For months, he has just been that Lazio midfielder who, for some reason, is worth £80m.

The all-action central midfielder has been strongly linked with Manchester United over the past few months, as José Mourinho looks to bolster his midfield.

United fans’ hopes of signing the Serbia international will have been significantly boosted are seeing Nemanja Matić’s latest Instagram post. The Man United midfielder uploaded two photos of himself and Milinković-Savić, one in the changing room and one of the pair on the pitch during a bit of handbags in Serbia’s first World Cup game against Costa Rica.

The caption is what will be getting United fans excited. United’s tough tackling midfielder wrote “together we are always stronger” alongside the pictures.

Some United fans believe Matić could be hinting that Milinković-Savić could be on his way to Old Trafford. If Milinković-Savić were to make the move, we will have seen a sneak peek of how they combine during this World Cup.

Serbia opened their World Cup with the dream start, beating Costa Rica 1-0 thanks to a trademark free kick from captain Aleksandar Kolarov.
