Inter Milan will look to sign both Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof from Manchester United this summer, according to a report.

Inter Milan will reportedly attempt to sign both Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof from Manchester United during this summer's transfer window.

Martial has featured in Man United's last two Premier League matches after recovering from a hip problem, but various fitness issues this season have restricted him to just 16 appearances.

The France international started the 2022-23 campaign as the team's first-choice centre-forward, but he could be sold this summer, with the Red Devils preparing to bring in at least one new striker.

Martial's contract at Old Trafford is due to expire in June 2024, with the option of a further 12 months.

According to InterLive, Inter are keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old's situation, with the Italian giants keen to move for him this summer, and a deal could potentially be done for as little as €20m (£17.5m).

The report claims that the Serie A outfit are also keen on Lindelof and believe that the Sweden international could be available for €15m (£13m).

The 28-year-old has featured on 23 occasions for the Red Devils this season, but he has played just 11 times in the Premier League this season, having dropped down the pecking order following Lisandro Martinez's arrival.

Lindelof has started just five league games this term, and the defender admitted during the recent international break that he would be considering his future at the end of the campaign.

"Of course like every player, you want to play every game and obviously I haven't done that this season," he told reporters when questioned on his lack of action at club level in 2022-23.

"Like I said, I want to play, that's why I play football, I want to play games, but I haven't thought about that [transfer away], right now I'm just focusing on the national team and then of course, the rest of the season with the club. Then in the summer we'll re-evaluate and see what is best."

Lindelof has also allegedly attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid, but Inter are thought to be at the head of the queue for his services.

The Swede moved to Old Trafford from Benfica in July 2017, and he has represented the club on 219 occasions in all competitions, scoring three goals and registering six assists.

Martial, meanwhile, has played 285 times for Man United since his arrival from Monaco in 2015, scoring 85 goals and registering 52 assists in the process.

The Frenchman has suffered with hamstring, Achilles, back, muscular and hip problems this term, but Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag will now hope to have the forward available for the remainder of the campaign, with the club still active in three competitions.
