Dumfries scored five goals and laid on a further four assists in just 21 league starts for the Nerazzurri and his attacking performances from wing-back have attracted interest from the Premier League.

United retain an interest in signing a right-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka facing an uncertain future after falling out of favour this season, while Chelsea are in search for competition and cover for Reece James.

Dumfries has opened up on the rumours and insists his focus remains on success at Inter, but admits it is flattering to hear of transfer interest from the Premier League.

“The interest flatters me, of course, but my focus is only on Inter,” Dumfries told De Telegraaf while on international duty with the Netherlands.

“We want to win the Scudetto because we lost it last season. Even today, the feeling of having lost the last title burns strongly.”
