Manchester United and Manchester City have a mutual interest in several central defenders including Inter’s Milan Skriniar according to a report from the online edition of British news outlet The Independent.

The Premier League duo are both looking to bolster their respective defensive departments in the upcoming transfer window and on top of Skriniar, they are both keen on signing Napoli’s Kaldiou Koulibaly too.

Whilst Koulibaly is Manchester City’s top target, The Independent explain that Inter would be open to doing a swap deal involving Skriniar and Sergio Aguero.

A swap deal with Inter involving Skriniar could be the more attractive option for the Etihad Stadium side, especially if their Champions League ban is upheld and they are forced to limit their spending.

As for Manchester United’s interest in Skriniar, it is understood that he is one of four they are considering with Swansea City’s Joe Rodon and RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano being the others.
