Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar flattered by Manchester United summer interest

Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar admits he was flattered to be a summer transfer target for Jose Mourinho, but insists he is more than happy at the Nerazzurri in a resurgent Serie A.

The Slovakia international was one of two Italy-based players -- along with Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly -- Mourinho had targeted to strengthen his defence at Manchester United last summer.

With 14 goals conceded in the first eight games of the season, the Red Devils have the joint fourth leakiest defence in the Premier League, inevitably refuelling rumours Mourinho will renew his efforts to sign Skriniar this winter.
