Report: Arsenal and Manchester United to Miss Out on Medhi Benatia

Manchester United and Arsenal will reportedly miss out on a move for Juventus defender Medhi Benatia, as AC Milan have emerged as favourites for his signature.

According to Dave Fraser at The Sun, Benatia is set to join AC Milan on loan in the January transfer window and will spend the rest of the season at the San Siro.

The deal will include an option to make the move permanent, with Benatia keen to move on after becoming frustrated with a lack of game time in Turin, per the report.

Benatia has suggested he is open to a move away from Juventus unless his current situation at the club improves, per La Stampa (h/t Football Italia).
