Harry Maguire: Inter Milan Reportedly Interested in Manchester United Skipper

• Inter Milan are in the market for a new centre-back to replace Milan Skriniar
• Reports claim the Serie A side have identified Harry Maguire as the quick fix
• The report comes amid Maguire's continued struggles at Manchester United

Serie A giants, Inter Milan are reportedly interested in a shock transfer move for Manchester United skipper, Harry Maguire.

Maguire has endured a frustrating spell with the Red Devils since the arrival of Erik ten Hag, who took charge of the club in the summer.

According to The Sun, the England international has significantly fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag preferring the partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at the heart of United's defence.

Maguire, who joined the Manchester club from Leicester City in a record transfer deal, has managed just five appearances so far this term.

Inter Milan linked with Maguire

However, the centre-back could be handed a lifeline, with reports suggesting that Inter Milan are keen on his services.

Metro UK reports that the Italian giants have already enquired about a loan move for the Manchester United centre-back.

Inter's interest in Maguire comes after United reportedly declined an offer from the club to sign Victor Lindelof under similar terms.

The Nerazzurri are due to lose their own captain in Milan Skriniar, who already has a pre-contract agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.

The San Siro-based outfit are therefore in the market for a replacement for Skriniar to help them challenge for the Serie A title.

Maguire admitted after the game that it was not ideal to be left on the bench, but said he was nevertheless determined to show his manager just what he is capable of.
