Inter Milan have offered Mauro Icardi to Manchester United.

ESPN reporter Paolo Bandini says finding a club for Icardi will be difficult due to the controversy surrounding the Argentine in the last year.

He claims Inter Milan have explored the possibility of a swap with United for Romelu Lukaku.

However, United do not see Icardi as the right replacement currently.

“[Where Icardi ends up] is the fascinating question here," Bandini said.

“Is he a better player than Lukaku? In my opinion yes.

“I think Mauro Icardi is absolutely a world-class striker when he's on, when he's giving you everything he can.

“Likewise though, finding a club for him is not going to be straightforward.

“Manchester United frankly, if Inter thought they could get a swap deal out of this, if they could send Icardi to Manchester and get Lukaku coming back in the other direction, they'd be happy."
