      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
