Manchester United target Denzel Dumfries is reportedly holding out for a transfer rather than committing to Inter Milan, at least whilst the summer window is still open.<\/p>\n
David Ornstein has reported<\/a> that Dumfries does not intend to open negotiations with his current club over a new contract until after the summer transfer window. This is due to a “particular appeal” towards a move to Manchester United, which he is keen on.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Manchester United Swap Interest From PSG \u2018Star\u2019 to Championship \u2018Rock\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Despite Inter Milan wanting to secure a new deal with the right-back, he is focused on a move elsewhere, favouring an exit over another year in Italy. His contract expires in less than 12 months, so this could be the Nerazzurri’s<\/em> last chance to command a big fee for the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n This move for Dumfries is currently being limited by United’s long-term interest in Noussair Mazraoui<\/a>. The Red Devils prefer the idea of signing the Bayern Munich player, who they have been in talks for.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0Manchester United Set Demands for \u2018Impressive\u2019 Defender After \u2018Personal Terms Agreed\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n However, to enable the Mazraoui deal, Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> needs to be sold to West Ham. The alternative would be to swap the former Crystal Palace defender for Dumfries. Whilst the INEOS-run club prefer the former option, Wan-Bissaka favours a move to Italy, and it is up to him to accept or reject the Hammers. It’s unclear which right-back is more likely to be playing at Old Trafford come September.<\/p>\n Swapping Dumfries for Wan-Bissaka would not provide a like-for-like replacement. The Serie A winner is a very attacking full-back, often playing as a wing-back. By contrast, the Englishman excels defensively but may struggle in the final third.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2018<\/a>Personal Terms Already In Place\u2019: Man Utd Get Response To Ambitious Offer For Double Targets<\/a><\/p>\n This would benefit Erik ten Hag’s side, who conceded the fourth least goals last campaign. Their defence was very strong and they have quality centre-backs. Meanwhile, their biggest struggle was in scoring goals. Finding the back of the net just 57 times resulted in a negative goal difference, and was the reason that they failed to qualify for European football via league position.<\/p>\n It’s unclear who their starting right-winger will be, but Dumfries’ overlapping runs will no doubt help support them as United strive for a Top Six finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Manchester United target Denzel Dumfries is reportedly holding out for a transfer rather than committing to Inter Milan, at least whilst the summer window is still open.
