Inter Milan could offer Nemanja Matic an escape route from Manchester United next month.

The Serbia international made his first start in over two months against AZ Alkmaar last week, but was then dropped from the match-day squad for Sunday's draw with Everton.

The Telegraph says Inter manager Antonio Conte is contemplating a reunion with the 31-year-old holding midfielder.

Conte used Matic to great effect during Chelsea's 2016/17 Premier League title winning season.

He would become the third player to leave United for Inter this season, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez joining the Serie A club last summer.
