Denzel Dumfries is in the interest of Manchester United, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport. The pink sports newspaper knows that Internazionale is open to a departure from the right back, provided the right transfer fee is paid. That would amount to about 40 million euros.

This summer at Inter will be dominated by financial recovery. Romelu Lukaku has returned to Milan for a hefty transfer fee and salary and so players have to be sold to get the numbers green again. A departure from Dumfries can help with that. Milan Skriniar was the player they thought to make a profit, but now that he does not seem to leave, the right back of the the Dutch is next in line. He can leave for 40 million euros and Manchester United would, according to the Gazzetta have already shown interest.

After getting Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martínez, trainer Erik ten Hag is still not completely satisfied with the options in his defense and sees Dumfries as the ideal option to cover the right side. The former PSV back could then compete with Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and United even thinks that Dumfries will decide that battle in his favor without too many problems. A possible arrival of the Dutchman would mean that Ten Hag will again get a player with an Eredivisie link. With Malacia, Martínez and Christian Eriksen he already made three and Frenkie de Jong and Antony would also be in the picture.

Dumfries, who had five goals and five assists in 33 Serie A games last season, can therefore take the next step a year after his switch from PSV to Inter. I Nerazzurri can book a substantial profit on their back, because twelve months ago they still counted thirteen million euros for him. Previously, Dumfries also played for sc Heerenveen and Sparta in professional football. He has so far played 35 international matches for the Dutch national team.
