Inter Milan following Man Utd's Van Nistelrooy - March 22, 2006
Inter Milan patron Massimo Moratti admits he's following Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arsenal's Thierry Henry.
The 28-year-old Henry is discussing a new contract at Arsenal, while Van Nistelrooy, 29, has lost his place to Louis Saha at Manchester United.
Moratti said: "Henry is a player I enjoy watching.
"The difference between Henry and Van Nistelrooy is I know Van Nistelrooy is not happy in Manchester."
Moratti said on the club's website: "I think the Frenchman is happy in London and Arsenal are preparing a contract extension for him.
"Hence, they have first choice. It would be a different situation if the player wanted to have another experience elsewhere."
Henry's 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 - but if he fails to agree a new deal his fee will fall next season.
Moratti said: "We wouldn't take advantage of this as it wouldn't be an honourable move. We don't do this between big clubs."
