Dumfries has established himself as one of the best offensive full-backs. He began his career as a right back, but has played exclusively as a right back for the Nerazzurri.

His attacking attributes could be a reason behind ten Hag's interest. The Dutch coach currently has Diogo Dalot as his only attacking option from the right side. Aaron Wan-Bissaka does not represent the same overlapping threat, and he could leave this summer with the club still to extend his contract which expires in June next year.

Inter have valued Dumfries at £43 million in the past, but could be available for much less as he approaches the final year of his contract. Currently only wins £53,000 per week at Inter and a 100% rise could be enough to convince him to join United during this summer's transfer window.
