Denzel Dumfries

Manchester United remains vigilant as Denzel Dumfries, a long-standing defensive target, hesitates over extending his contract with Inter Milan, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Dumfries joined Inter Milan from PSV in the summer of 2021 for €14.25 million and has since become a key figure for the Italian powerhouse. Known for his adaptability, he has played various roles on the right flank, including fullback, wingback, and wide midfielder.

In his time at Inter Milan, Dumfries has amassed 120 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists.

He played a pivotal role in Inter Milan’s journey to the Champions League final last season, featuring in 10 out of 13 matches.

Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, holds Dumfries in high regard, and the club is reportedly prepared to make a move for the Dutchman in the upcoming transfer window if contract negotiations with Inter Milan do not progress.

Considering a potential departure of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Old Trafford in the summer, Diogo Dalot might be the sole senior right-back option in the United squad.
