Since last summer, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sánchez (on loan) and Ashley Young left Manchester United for Inter Milan and the Serie A side could raid Old Trafford for another player.

Tuttosport explains Antonio Conte’s side are interested in taking Tahith Chong, whose contract with the Red Devils expires in the summer.

The 20-year-old featured against the Nerazzurri during the pre-season fixture and the newspaper explains he ‘impressed’ the leaders of the Italian club.

It’s claimed Chong was supposed to have an explosive season at United, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not given him opportunities after the Dutchman decided not to sign an extension.

Many top clubs are after the wideman, but Inter have taken important steps over December and January by meeting his representative on several occasions.

With Conte preferring a 3-5-2 formation, Tuttosport believe Chong may struggle to adapt to the former Chelsea manager’s style at the San Siro. 

Inter’s idea is to beat competition for Chong’s signing and send him out on loan to Jiangsu Suning for the first season and then loan him out to a mid-table Italian club in the second season to test him in Serie A.

Earlier reports in Italy said Juventus have withdrawn any interest, and that Inter were shocked by Chong’s initial wage demands.
