Option 1: In Midfield-Three
Erik ten Hag loves playing the 4-3-3 formation in which his midfield three maintains a narrow midfield line, being close to each other. Milinkovic-Savic can perfectly adapt to the system as he plays in something similar at Lazio.
The Serbian midfielder can excel in his center-midfield role alongside Fred and Bruno Fernandes. The hard-working midfielder has 11 goals and 13 assists from the center-midfield role for Lazio this season, so he can definitely add a spark to United’s midfield.
Option 2: As a no.10
Milinkovic-Savic is most comfortable in the center-midfield position, but can also operate in an advanced role. Indeed, the Serbian can play as a no.10 in a playmaker role if needed as well.
United could play him ahead of Bruno Fernandes in that no.10 role if he arrives, as Milinkovic-Savic boasts impressive creativity and the ability to score goals too.
