Inter Milan are reportedly lining up a £10million bid to end Ruud van Nistelrooy's Manchester United nightmare this summer.The Dutchman has fallen firmly out of favour with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who often preferred Louis Saha to him last season and angered the Holland hot-shot by playing youngster Giuseppe Rossi ahead of him for the last game of the campaign against Charlton.

Ferguson has shown in the past that he is not afraid to offload big-name players, showing Jaap Stam, Paul Ince and David Beckham the Old Trafford door when they fell out with the fiery Scotsman.

And it seems Inter, who captured Ince from United, are keen to recruit van Nistelrooy's services, with their top striker Adriano possibly on the way out of the San Siro to join Real Madrid.

Reports in Italy's Gazzetta Dello Sport, however, suggest Massimo Moratti's targets lie elsewhere - with Juventus ace David Trezeguet and Fiorentina ace Luca Toni attracting his attention.

Trezeguet has been linked with a move away from Juve for a while, and Toni is one of the hottest striking properties in Europe after finishing top scorer in Serie A this term.

Malcolm Glazer, the US tycoon who owns English Premiership giants Manchester United, has impaired speech and mobility following a second stroke, his family confirmed.

Glazer, who also owns American football's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, suffered a stroke April 16 and was hospitalised for a week.

The 77-year-old was re-admitted on April 30 following another stroke and remains there indefinitely.

"Doctors expect my father to return home in the next few weeks," said Joel Glazer.

"As a result of this stroke, his rehabilitation period will be longer and more challenging.

"Our family appreciates all the support and warm wishes that we have received."

Glazer insists his father's health woes will have no impact on the running of either of his sports franchises.

It will be interesting to see if Inter are genuinely interested in Ruud.
