Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti has claimed that Ruud van Nistelrooy is unhappy at Manchester United and hinted that his Serie A side are ready to make a move for him.
Van Nistelrooy has been linked with a summer move away from Old Trafford after losing his place in starting line-up to Louis Saha.
Moratti also played down speculation linking his team with Arsenal's Thierry Henry, claiming that Henry is happy with life in London.
"Van Nistelrooy is a very good forward," Moratti told www.gazzetta.it. "The difference between Henry and van Nistelrooy is I know van Nistelrooy is not happy in Manchester."
"I think the Frenchman is happy in London and Arsenal are preparing a contract extension for him," Moratti added on the club's website, inter.it.
"Hence, they have first choice. It would be a different situation if the player wanted to have another experience elsewhere. Henry is a player I enjoy watching.
Henry's current Arsenal deal expires in the summer of 2007 and he has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Arsenal are hoping he will sign an extension. If he does not,clubs may offer Arsenal a transfer fee for the player before the end of next season.
"His buy-out clause is low?" Morrati said. "We wouldn't take advantage of this as it wouldn't be an honourable move. We don't do this between big clubs."
