Inter Milan could line up with four ex-Man Utd stars as Maguire linked with move

INTER MILAN could soon have a number of former Manchester United players in their starting XI.

Harry Maguire has been linked with a loan move to the Serie A giants ahead of the transfer window slamming shut.

United's captain reportedly wants to remain at the club and make a decision on his long-term future in the summer.

But if does leave, he could link-up with plenty of Red Devils alumni at the San Siro.

As Inter look set to allow Milan Skriniar to join Paris-Saint Germain, another centre-back they are keen on is Chris Smalling.

The 33-year-old is already at home in Italy with Roma, but his deal in the capital runs out at the end of this season and has handed in a transfer request in the capital.

The ex-England star - who made 323 appearances for Man Utd - could soon join Maguire at Inter.

His team-mate Victor Lindelof has also been monitored by the club but their advances for him have been rejected.

Inter manager Simone Inzaghi likes to use a 3-5-2 with wing-backs and ex-United ace Matteo Darmian features regularly.

The defender has played 21 times for Inter this season.

Further up the field is a fourth ex-Manchester United star, Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

He played 63 times for the club, scoring 13 goals between 2016 and 2018.

Topping off the team is Romelu Lukaku, who is at Inter on loan from Chelsea.

The Belgian played at Old Trafford for two seasons under Jose Mourinho.

The rest of the team could be filled with the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries and Nicolo Barella.

The Nerazzurri currently sit second in the league, 13 points behind leaders Napoli.

And the club will face Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League.
