Inter consider swoop for Daley Blind

According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Serie A outfit have already expressed their interest in the 28-year-old, and would have approached United to enquire about his possible signing.

The report suggests that Jose Mourinho's side would have a positive response for Inter. United are open to negotiations, since the Dutchman has had almost no role in the first-team this year, playing only 17 games.

Mourinho's lack of confidence in Blind will play into Inter's hands, who can offer the defender more weight in the starting lineup. In addition, his contract is due to expire in 2019 and both parties are unlikely to renew.

Therefore, a transfer this summer would be United's last opportunity to make a financial return on Blind, so all signs point towards both teams reaching an understanding over the summer.
