The Lazio star was voted Best Serie A midfielder last season, which appealed to Manchester United leaders.
Milinkovic-Savic was to be in the window of the 2018 World Cup with Serbia, but did not do so, resulting in an extended stay in Rome.
But now it seems that United is ready to bring him to Old Trafford if the Italian club is willing to do business.
Ed Woodward is expected to submit a first bid of £ 72 million.
Lazio wants £ 90 million for the 24-year-old, but United is not afraid to test his determination.
Sky Sports says it does not intend to lower its selling price, like Leicester for Harry Maguire.
Milinkovic-Savic would like to go but he will not force it and would be happy to stay at Lazio for another season if needed.
Manchester United have also renewed their interest in defender Fiorentina Nikola Milenkovic.
Milinkovic-Savic has prospered under Simone Inzaghi and likes to be one of the star players of the club.
He opened the scoring in the Coppa-Italia final against Atalanta last season, winning the match 2-0 and scoring Lazio's name on the trophy.
Juventus was also in touch with the midfield, but the price was reasonable as they were looking to fund an agreement with Matthijs de Ligt.
United plans to recruit two midfielders this summer to replace Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera.
Bruno Fernandes and Sean Longstaff remain the club's main goals in the midfield, but negotiations are slow.
Milinkovic-Savic is a renowned signatory and would increase the excitement among the fans.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hoped that all his transfer cases would be completed by July 1, but that will never happen.
He now hopes that Woodward and chief negotiator Matt Judge will be able to bring the deal to a successful conclusion.
