      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.

      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

      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.

      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.

      Massimiliano Allegri’s side have not been able to recover momentum after being docked 15 points this month following an investigation into the club’s transfer dealings.
      Juventus had won eight league games on the bounce either side of the World Cup to get themselves back into contention for a top four finish and perhaps even a late title push.
      But the deduction, coupled with a three-game winless run, leaves them 15 points behind AC Milan in the last Champions League qualification spot.
      And their season went from bad to worse as they lost at home for the first time since April against the minnows.

      Remarkably, it was their second league defeat of the campaign to the Serie A debutants.
      Monza took the lead after 18 minutes when Jose Machin sent a well-timed through ball to Patrick Ciurria who shot high into the net.
      Dany Mota doubled Monza’s lead six minutes before half-time when he got the ball inside the box, rounded Wojciech Szczesny and slotted into the empty net.
      Juventus dominated the second half but were repeatedly denied by Monza keeper Michele Di Gregorio.

      And that move could have a knock-on effect for Man Utd.
      Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports Lindelof is among Inter’s top targets.
      But the Red Devils are not keen to sell to avoid having to go into the transfer window themselves.
      Romano tweeted: “Inter are exploring options to replace Milan Skriniar in case agreement will be reached with PSG to anticipate the deal in January.

      “Victor Lindelof, option in the list but Man Utd want to keep him – as Lille don’t want to sell Tiago Djalo now.”
      Djalo has been linked with an Old Trafford move in recent weeks but United do not appear set to move for the 22-year-old in this window.
      The Red Devils bought Lindelof in 2017 but he has faded into the background this season after the arrival of Lisandro Martinez in July.
      The Swede has only made six Premier League appearances this season and appears to have slipped down the pecking order behind Martinez, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire.

      The 28-year-old has been largely limited to cup appearances, including Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Reading.
      Lindelof may not be needed if Inter can keep hold of Skriniar.
      But they face a challenge from PSG and even potentially interest from the Premier League.
      Inter are also believed to have eyes on former Man Utd defender Chris Smalling who has reportedly handed in a transfer request at Roma. More
