The midfielder came off the bench during Serbia’s 2-0 win over neighbours Montenegro, grabbing the assist for Aleksandr Mitrovic’s second of the game.
SunSport understands Red Devils boss Mourinho was in town to watch Lazio midfielder Milinkovic-Savic and teammate Nikola Milenkovic, a 20-year-old centre-back who plays for Fiorentina.
Both men have been in fine form for their Serie A clubs this season.
And it’s believed Mourinho fancies bringing both of them to Old Trafford in the January transfer window.
Milinkovic-Savic was strongly linked with an Old Trafford switch over the summer before eventually penning a new long-term contract.
But he admits he was thrilled by Mourinho’s presence in the crowd.
Milinkovic-Savic said: “I am a Lazio player but it’s obvious that I was pleased that a coach of his stature came to watch the match.
“I read a little bit everywhere he was here at the stadium to see me play but that doesn’t mean anything.
“Maybe he was not here for me, but for someone else.”
