Man Utd target Denzel Dumfries refuses to enter Inter contract negotiations with Dutchman 'focused' on Old Trafford switch

The right wing-back has no intention of entering negotiations at the San Siro until the transfer window has closed, according to The Athletic. This will appeal to United, who will be in need of a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka if the West Ham target leaves Old Trafford. The report adds that Dumfries, 28, is focused on leaving Inter Milan and finds the Red Devils an attractive option.

United are in the process of offloading Wan-Bissaka, having agreed a deal in principle with the Hammers over the 26-year-old. The defender is yet to agree personal terms with Julen Lopetegui's side, however, and prefers a move to Inter. This seemingly opens the door to a potential swap deal for Dumfries, but United's preference is to sell Wan-Bissaka to West Ham and sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.

Dumfries has entered the final 12 months of his Inter Milan contract, so the reigning Serie A champions are facing the prospect of watching him leave for free next summer.

United's focus at the moment will be on Wan-Bissaka's future. Mazraoui is their ideal replacement - Bayern have already agreed to sell the Moroccan - but Dumfries sounds like a straightforward deal should Inter be keen to cash in on him.
