An exciting swap deal between Manchester United and Inter Milan could take place this summer.

According to journalist David Ornstein, intermediaries are discussing the possibility of a transfer involving Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Denzel Dumfries.

United are looking to sign at least one new full-back ahead of the 2024/25 campaign as their existing options have regularly dealt with injuries.

Wan-Bissaka is one of those who have been sidelined far too often for United's liking and is expected to leave the club.

If Inter were interested in signing him, it would be a huge relief to Erik ten Hag's side as it would significantly decrease the fee they would need to pay for Dumfries.

The Dutchman has long been linked with a move to the Premier League and he would suit English football well.

His athleticism down the right side would be a real asset for United, who also have Diogo Dalot on the books.

Mazraoui to Man Utd off

United were previously linked with a move for Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui.

The potential sale of Wan-Bissaka to West Ham would have helped to fund the move.

However, West Ham are now understood to be close to signing Mazraoui themselves, simultaneously ruling them out of a move for Wan-Bissaka.

The Hammers have reached an agreement with Bayern over Mazraoui, with Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claiming a deal worth €15.5 million plus €4m in add-ons has been struck.
