Manchester
United have reached an agreement with the Italian side Torino for defender Matteo
Darmian, as per SkySports report.
Darmian
is originally a right-back but can be used in other defensive positions. The 6ft
tall has also played as a center-back last term in Serie A.
Man Untied boss Louis van Gaal suffered defensive problems last season and with the
addition of him he would be seeing a better future.
United
had to play with Antonio Valencia as a right-back as Rafael remained out for
several months. While injuries to Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and
Jonny Evans also cost Untied enough. However, they still managed to finish at
fourth spot.
Meanwhile,
Rafael who featured only 11 times last term is set to be sold this summer with
Serie A duo Napoli and Fiorentina are keeping tabs on him. Also, the Turkish
side Galatasaray have shown interest.
On
the other hand, Barcelona right-back Dani Alves was also in link before his new
deal with the Spanish side. Everton’s Seamus Coleman was on LVG’s radar but he
picked Darmian as the new right-back.
