According to recent reports by Tuttosport, Manchester United are among a whole host of clubs looking to snap up Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan. It is understood that the Red Devils are set to compete with the likes of Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in pursuit of the Slovakian centre-back’s signature.
Skriniar’s Excellent Form For Inter Milan
The 23-year-old defensive ace has been in fine form for the San Siro based side this season helping the Italian giants climb up to the 3rd spot of the Serie A standings. The Žiar nad Hronom born talent has featured in 11 matches for Inter this term, and his commanding performances have not gone unnoticed by other clubs.
The Slovakian Talent’s Career In A Nutshell
Skriniar grew up while playing football back in his homeland of Slovakia for clubs such as MSK Zilina and Zlate Moravce before sealing a move to Italy to play for Sampdoria. His rapid rise caught the eyes of Inter chiefs who landed him in the summer of 2017. Since arriving at the San Siro, the centre-half has appeared in 51 matches for the Italian outfit and has four goals to his name.
What Will The Serie A Sensation Add To Mourinho’s Team?
Skriniar is a top quality defender who is a commanding presence at both ends of the pitch. He is a threat from set-pieces but knows how to intercept possession and make clearances in his own half. The Inter defensive ace could be considered as one of the best centre-halves in Italian football.
At 23, he is currently about to embark upon his peak years which means that he would be a shrewd acquisition for United as they could benefit from having a player of his defensive ability for the next few years.
Should Man United Sign Him?
The potential addition of Skriniar would undoubtedly bolster Mourinho’s defensive options at the red half of Manchester. Man United have already got defenders such as Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo competing for a starting berth at Old Trafford.
Skriniar is quite versatile and can play as a central midfielder as well which makes him an excellent asset for Milan. Thus, the Red Devils should consider recruiting him as he could help them fight for major trophies in the near future.
