Matteo Darmian has suggested he wants to go back to Italy after struggling to hold down a starting position under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. The right-back has spent three years at Old Trafford but is ready to return to his homeland and has his options open regarding which side he could join.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Darmian said: ‘United are a top club, but wanting to be a starter is normal. I have one more year on my contract and we haven’t talked about a renewal. My agent knows what I want. Returning to Italy? It could be to Juve, Inter, Napoli or others, it’s not for me to say. I’d only move to the club who offered me the best solution, the doors are open. I was close to leaving last summer, but United didn’t want me to go. It was a sign of confidence and I wanted to play another year with Mourinho.’
