- Inter Milan have posted an interest in Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan
- However United's valuation could scupper the prospect of a January deal
- Mkhitaryan is popular at United but has fallen out of favour with Jose Mourinho
Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be set for a move away from Old Trafford in January, with Inter Milan poised to make a move according to Corriere dello Sport.
Despite a strong start to the campaign registering five assists in as many Premier League games, the Armenian has seriously fallen down the pecking order, with Jose Mourinho favouring Jesse Lingard in United's current system.
Mkhitaryan failed to even be selected in the match day squad for the Reds' 2-1 away victory over West Brom on Sunday and hasn't started a match since the defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on November 5.

United beat Arsenal to sign the Armenia captain for £27million in 2016 but Mourinho hinted the 28-year-old could leave when he declared 'every player has his price' last week.
Reports claim there has been a 'breakdown of trust' between player and manager, with Mourinho revealing "every player has a price" and maintaining that "If a player is not happy and brings with the request a number we consider good for us, I would never say no."

Now Serie A giants Internazionale are said to be extremely interested in acquiring the services of the ex-Dortmund man as they look to bolster their midfield options with ex-Chelsea Brazilian Ramires also on the wish list.
Any deal for the midfielder would likely be a loan initially, as Inter find themselves unable to spend significantly after serious investment in the summer.
NAIJ.com had earlier reported that Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, is ready to offload unsettled Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the summer.
