Ivan Perisic's future at Inter Milan remains uncertain amid interest from Manchester United
I can't say for sure whether we can keep him or not.
Luciano Spalletti
But the Red Devils are still confident they can prise him away from the San Siro, even though Spalletti hopes he stays.
Asked again about Perisic's future, Spalletti said: "I can't say for sure whether we can keep him or not.
"I've known him for a long time. He's a world-class player.
"Whether he plays well or not [in pre-season], that will not change my mind.
"Our intention is to keep him if possible."
Perisic, who netted 11 goals and provided eight assists in Serie A last term, is under contract with Inter until 2020.
