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.
