An update has emerged on Manchester United and their interest in Milan Skriniar during the January transfer window…

What’s the talk?

According to French outlet Media Foot, the Red Devils have scheduled a meeting with the player’s representatives to discuss a possible deal this month.

The report claims that the Premier League giants want to meet with the defender’s agent in order to discover what his contract demands would be.

It is stated that the Slovakian international is eyeing up a transfer to the English top-flight and that United have the potential to seduce him.

Erik ten Hag can finally ditch England international Harry Maguire by securing a deal to sign Skriniar from Inter, whether this month or in the summer.

The centre-back’s current contract with the Italian giants expires at the end of the current season. It remains to be seen whether United are hoping to land him on a cut-price transfer before the end of January or on a pre-contract to sign him for nothing in July.

Ten Hag signing Skriniar would allow him to sanction the sale, or loan exit, of one of his current central defenders and a certain former Leicester man could be on the chopping block.

Maguire, who is reportedly on £190k-per-week, has only started four Premier League matches this season, after being named in the XI 28 times last term, as he has fallen behind Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the pecking order when it comes to centre-back options.
