Sanchez, 31, has been told he has no future at Old Trafford with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to offload.

And it appears the Serie A club could throw him another career lifeline.

According to Sky Italia, they will look into the possibility of extending his loan deal despite enduring an injury-hit campaign.

The Chilean has only made two Serie A starts this season and has struggled yet again to replicate the same form he showed during his time with Arsenal.

With Covid-19 having a huge impact on football finances globally, Inter know their summer transfer budget will be limited.

Manchester United are already paying the majority of his eye-popping £18million salary while he plays in Italy.
