Inter Milan 'want to sign Jesse Lingard on loan'

Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard is reportedly a loan target for Inter Milan.

The 28-year-old was named in the starting XI for United's FA Cup clash with Watford on Saturday night, playing 80 minutes of his side's 1-0 victory over the Championship club.

The Englishman has not been handed a single minute of Premier League football this term, though, and his current deal at Old Trafford is due to expire in the summer of 2022.

According to The Mirror, Inter boss Antonio Conte 'is an admirer' of the versatile attacker, and the former Chelsea manager wants to bring him to San Siro on loan.

The report, though, claims that the Italian giants will only be able to sanction a move for Lingard if they manage to offload Christian Eriksen, who has struggled to settle since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur.

Inter have recently signed both Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young from United, and Conte allegedly believes that the acquisition of Lingard would boost his team's title chances.

The England international has scored 33 times and registered 20 assists in 210 outings for the Red Devils.
