Manchester United are odds-on favourites to sign Inter Milan wide forward Ivan Perisic, according to the latest betting odds.

Leading bookmaker Sky Bet have priced the 28-year-old at 4/7 to make a switch to Old Trafford before September 3.

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are priced at 8/1 in the betting list, with English Premier League champions Chelsea coming at even bigger outsiders of 25/1.

Jose Mourinho’s side ended the recent season in fine fashion after they beat Dutch side Ajax in the Europa League final.

As a result of that victory, the Manchester club have automatically qualified for next season’s Champions League despite finishing outside of the top four in England’s top flight.

Added with United’s success in Europe, they also lifted the English League Cup in February when Zlatan Ibrahimovic inspired them to victory against Southampton at Wembley.

During his career, Perisic has played for the likes of Milan and German duo Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund.

The Croatia international currently plays at the San Siro where he helped Inter secure a disappointing seventh place finish in Serie A.

Over the course of the campaign, Perisic played 36 league games for his side, mainly on the left wing, scoring 11 goals and providing the same number of assists for his side.

The former German champion has a contract at Inter which is due to expire in 2020.
