Manchester United have been linked with Portuguese international and Inter Milan star Joao Mario for quite some time and the latest reports seem positive for the Red Devils.
On Monday, we covered a report (via the Sun) claiming that Manchester United are prepared to pay 40 million pounds to hire the services of the Euro 2016 champion.
Now, according to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerezzurri are willing to offer Mario to the Old Trafford club in exchange of Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who has been in poor form this season and spent a decent time out of the team under Mourinho.

Last month, the Italian source reported about a similar sort of exchange but mentioned that if the former Dortmund star is not included in the deal then Joao can be lured for a fee of 45 million euros ($54million).
The Seleccao star is naturally a central attacking midfielder who can also operate effectively in the wide positions as well.
In the current campaign, he has mainly warmed the bench under the management of Luciano Spalletti. So far, he has only managed to start 5 games in all competitions and provided 5 assists.
In your opinion, should United sell Mkhitaryan to lure Mario?
