TAHITH CHONG remains in talks with Inter Milan over a free transfer this summer, according to reports.

The Manchester United whizkid is in the final six months of his deal and can move abroad for nothing.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport claims Inter have outlined a plan to give Chong, 20, first-team football on loan before bringing him into their set-up.

Romelu Lukaku joined the San Siro outfit last summer in a big-money move, while Alexis Sanchez is on loan for the season.

Ashley Young joined his former team-mates in January as Christian Eriksen also opted to join ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte's side.

The English arrivals have helped Inter mount a serious challenge to Juventus' dominance of Italian football.

And Conte continues to turn to the Premier League for reinforcements as he looks to scoop a bargain in promising forward Chong.

The Dutch youth international has seen his rise stall as he finds first-team opportunities limited at Old Trafford - managing just 24 minutes of action in the league so far this season.

And United face losing a promising young talent for nothing if Chong continues to stall over signing a new deal.

Old Trafford chiefs will hold further talks with the youngster in the coming weeks as they aim to convince him to extend his contract.
