Italian club wants Man United star on loan but United want to sell him

Inter Milan want Henrikh Mkhitaryan on loan according to Simon Stone of the BBC. Simon Stone who is a Tier 1 source for Manchester United on our Football Transfer Source Reliability Guide also claims that Inter are looking Gerard Deulofeu of Barcelona and Javier Pastore of PSG. It would be interesting to see United’s willingness to negotiate with Inter after the failed pursuit of Inter’s Ivan Persic in last summer’s transfer window.

Mkhitaryan has been disappointing for United after starting the season strongly. It is clear at the moment that he is not in Jose Mourinho’s plans for the moment. And the form of Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata means that United can afford to let Mkhitaryan go in the January transfer window. A loan move will make perfect sense for Inter Milan as they can judge Mkhitaryan’s level before opting to purchase him but United will be reluctant to sanction such a move. If Mkhitaryan struggles in the Serie A too, then United will be unable to get a good deal for him in the summer.
