While there are a lot of websites in England that cover transfer rumours, most don’t solely do so.

Yes, we know, there’s that Sport Witness lot, but they’re a good bunch, so it’s fine.

In Italy, however, the amount of websites with ‘mercato’ in them is hard to keep up with, and from time to time, we stumble across a new one.

Monday’s new discovery comes in the form of Calciomercatonews.com, who have an ‘exclusive’ story about Inter Milan’s interest in Manchester United’s Daley Blind.

The Serie A side are looking for defensive reinforcements in January, and the Italian website have apparently learnt their target will be the Dutch utility man, who Frank De Boer is a big fan of.

Reported as being valued around €23m, the 26-year-old could apparently leave United in January as Mourinho looks for a bigger name to strengthen his defence.

While this may be true, Blind, who has filled in for Luke Shaw at left-back recently, and started the season alongside Eric Bailly at centre-back, appears to be in Mourinho’s plans as a stop gap whenever needed.

Such versatility is always welcomed over the course of a long season, and if anyone were to leave the club this January from the left-hand side, it’d probably be Marcos Rojo.

We don’t believe this story, and, while we don’t like telling you what to think, we would probably push you in the direction of ‘neither should you’.
