      Here is how Inter could line-up with Harry Maguire in the team
      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.

      by

      The Serie A side have made an inquiry about the 29-year-old’s availability and it is believed a loan deal has been proposed.
      However, the player would like to wait until the summer to decide on his long-term future.

      The Daily Mail claim that Maguire is prepared to be patient for his chances in case injuries and suspensions become problems for manager Erik ten Hag.
      Maguire recently stressed he did not want to become a bit-part player at Man Utd.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Speaking after his start in the FA Cup win over Reading, he said: “I’m 29 and haven’t really been in this position in my career before.
      “I don’t want to get used to it but it is part and parcel of football. I’m pushing, training well, and when chances come, I need to take it.
      “It was two-and-a-half weeks since my last start but I’ve felt I have looked after myself.
      “I’ve been working hard in training. The lads who have been playing have been doing well. I have to be ready when my chance comes.

      “We’re all going to be needed for the second half of the season.”
      Maguire has been in the starting XI for just 20 per cent of Premier League matches this season.
      Overall, he has played 16 times under Ten Hag with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane the first choice centre-back pairing.
      Inter are in the market for a new central defender as Milan Skriniar is reportedly close to joining Paris Saint-Germain.
      Simone Inzaghi’s team have also gone in for Maguire’s team-mate Victor Lindelof this January as a potential replacement.
      The approach was rejected by Man Utd, who are looking to keep hold of their key players with a busy fixture schedule ahead.
      The Red Devils are still going strong in all competitions this term and face many midweek games with the Europa League restarting soon, with a tough trip to Barcelona coming up.

      Osimhen has become one of the most prolific strikers in Serie A, scoring 14 goals in 16 games this season.
      His record in front of goal has helped Napoli to the top of the table, and he even scored a worldie against Roma in their last match.
      However, former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham manager Mourinho has warned him that he will have to adapt his game if he moves to England.
      The current Roma boss suggested that English officials will be tougher on him if he dives.

      Mourinho insisted that in Italy, referees put up with the behaviour, but thinks that the 24-year-old could have the same impact as Didier Drogba.
      He said: “He is of the same level as Drogba, but Didier didn’t dive.
      “If Victor changes, then OK. I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money.
      “However, if he does go to England one day, he needs to change, because in Italy they put up with this sort of behaviour, whereas in the Premier League, they’d come down hard on him.

      “I told him that he scored a wonderful goal and needs to stop diving so much.
      “His goal was fantastic, he did the same thing when we met earlier this season, so he’s a fantastic player.
      “But he mustn’t dive.”
      The striker will not come to the Premier League cheaply however, as it has been reported that he will cost £115million.
      Osimhen is in his third season at Napoli following a £70m switch from Lille in 2020. More

      Man Utd could make shock transfer swoop for Youri Tielemans as they keep tabs on new box-to-box midfielder

      by

      MAN UTD could reportedly make a move for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans in the January window or the summer.The Belgian, 25, was heavily linked with Arsenal last year as he entered the final 12 months of his contract at the King Power Stadium.

      But a transfer failed to materialise as the Foxes clung onto their playmaker.
      Now he is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, with Leicester not expected to reach an agreement over a new deal.
      And according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, United could be set to snap him up before Tuesday’s deadline or when his existing contract expires.
      Speaking to The Football Terrace, via The Boot Room, Jacobs said: “I think we shouldn’t only be referring to a late Manchester United movement in terms of strikers.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      “From what I hear it’s more creative-minded players that can either get box to box from attacking midfield, or in central areas, or are a little more versatile across the front areas.
      “Therefore keep an eye on a player like Youri Tielemans who will be available on a free transfer in the summer.
      “The expectation is that Leicester are going to try and hang on to Tielemans, they are not going to accept any financial offers now, because it’s more valuable to the football club to lose him on a free but have Tielemans help keep Leicester up.”
      Explaining that Arsenal and Newcastle are also still interested in the midfielder, he then adds: “We know Arsenal could be in the mix for a midfielder, especially with [Mohamed Elneny] injured and I’m still waiting to see if a Manchester United, less likely a Newcastle, possibly Arsenal choose to speed up the strategy on Tielemans and due to the need to put something down.

      “I guarantee you as soon as anyone puts an offer down for Tielemans other clubs will have their heads turned and Manchester United are ones to watch in that capacity.”
      Tielemans arrived at Leicester on loan from Monaco in January 2019 and signed permanently six months later in a £32million move.
      He has made 184 appearances for the Premier League side, scoring 28 goals and providing 25 assists.
      Tielemans’ crowning moment at the club came in 2021 when he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final.
      Meanwhile, Man Utd have been linked with a number of other midfielders over the past 12 months.
      Before signing Casemiro, they were in a long-running saga with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong.
      They have also been linked with Roma man Nicolo Zaniolo and West Ham captain Declan Rice. More

      Osimhen’s 14th league goal of the campaign came just 17 minutes into Sunday’s crunch match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
      The Nigeria international showed excellent technique to control a fabulous cross from partner-in-crime Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
      Osimhen then took another touch of the ball to line up a shot.
      And keeping it in the air, Osimhen then lashed the ball home into the roof of the net at a seemingly-impossible angle.

      It was a truly sumptuous goal from Europe’s in-form striker.
      And it showed just why Man Utd are hoping to land him in a potential club record move next summer.
      There were fears for Napoli’s win later in the game when Stephan El Shaarawy fired home a 75th minute equaliser for Roma.
      However, Giovanni Simeone – son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego – came off the bench to fire in an 86th minute winner for the hosts.

      Man Utd fans in stitches as 6ft 5in Wout Weghorst is too tall for camera and interviewer comes up with unusual solution

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left in stitches after footage emerged of an interviewer coming up with an unusual solution to speak with giant striker Wout Weghorst.The on-loan Dutch international, 30, had failed to score in his first two outings for United after joining from Burnley.

      But Weghorst got off the mark in midweek in the 3-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg win over Nottingham Forest, leading to Red Devils legend Roy Keane heaping praise on him.
      The star also started last night’s 3-1 victory over Reading in the FA Cup.
      Afterwards, Weghorst stopped to be interviewed by a waiting presenter in the media mixed zone at Old Trafford.
      However, the giant 6ft 5in forward’s huge frame proved to be a problem as she struggled to fit him in the frame.

      That was before the reporter holding the mic had a lightbulb moment, and she proceeded to turn the camera so the shot was vertical instead of the traditional landscape.
      One fan responded to a tweet sharing the clip: “Wout Weghorst was too tall for the interview camera!”
      Another wrote: “LMAO why did she flip it like that?”
      While the rest of the feed was filled with crying and laughing emojis in the comments.

      This amusing incident comes just weeks after Weghorst was involved in another hilarious incident that left fans in stitches at an error from Sky Sports.
      The TV company doctored up a photo of him in the club’s colours to show on their starting line-up graphic ahead of his debut against Crystal Palace.
      That is despite United reportedly providing them with everything they needed to show a genuine one.
      But instead of using a real one, Sky instead used photo-editing software and super-imposed his head onto someone else’s body.
      And many eagle-eyed fans believe that the mystery body, visibly a lot smaller than Weghorst, was in fact former United ace Juan Mata, who is now at Galatasaray in Turkey. More
