Transfer Rumours: Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers
Transfer Rumours – Manchester United
According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Inter Milan are taking a keen interest in Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic.
The Serbian has made just four appearances so far this season and has completed 90 minutes just once in this campaign As a result, he looks set to explore his options, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
Inter Milan are one of a number of clubs looking to sign Matic, including their city rivals AC Milan. However, having previously worked with Antonio Conte could sway Matic to Inter Milan.
Furthermore, another midfielder could be leaving Old Trafford. Phil Thomas of The Sun reports that PSV want Manchester United youngster Tahith Chong on loan.
The 19-year-old is still being integrated into the first team by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. So far this season he has made just one appearance and, as a result, could be sent out on loan to gain first-team experience.
PSV currently lie second in the Eredivise, with only goal difference separating them from the top spot.

Manchester City were narrowly beaten to the signing of Harry Maguire during the summer. However, they could be returning to the King Power Stadium in the bid to cure their centre-back issues.
According to Fotospor in Turkey, Pep Guardiola is eyeing a move for Caglar Soyuncu during the January transfer window. The 23-year-old has put in a series of impressive performances so far this season as Leicester currently lie in third place.
