Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has been offered to Inter Milan.

Sky Italia says intermediaries have offered the Spaniard to Inter for this month.

However, the Nerazzurri also have AS Monaco attacker Keita Balde Diao under consideration and favour him as an option due to his age.

Indeed, Inter are expected to pass on signing Mata as they don't see him as fitting into coach Luciano Spalletti's system.

The midfielder has been praised by manager Jose Mourinho for his efforts this preseason.
