MATTEO DARMIAN'S ROAD TO UNITED
Matteo Darmian is an established Italy international who really caught the eye at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
Despite only making his Azzurri bow in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland at Fulham's Craven Cottage on the eve of the tournament, the Torino defender was named in Cesare Prandelli’s squad and started all three group matches. It was in the opening fixture with England that he really stood out, producing an outstanding performance and causing plenty of problems for Leighton Baines when linking with the attack. Such stellar form earned him an award for Italy’s best international player, which he received in early 2015, and he looks certain to have a long career with the national team at right-back. At domestic level, he started out as a centre-back with AC Milan and was handed his debut in a Coppa Italia tie against Brescia as a raw 16-year-old. Unable to break into the Rossoneri’s long-established defence, he later joined Serie B side Padova on loan before switching to Palermo in 2010. Although he accrued experience of European competition in the Europa League, he decided to drop down a division again with Torino, initially on loan, after only one injury-affected term in Sicily. Establishing himself as a regular with the Granata, and clinching promotion back to Serie A in his first year, the Legnano-born prospect made at least 30 appearances in each of his four seasons with the club. Reckoned to be one of Europe’s most dynamic full-backs, his ability to get forward to good effect is allied to plenty of defensive nous. Compared to the legendary defender Antonio Cabrini in some quarters, Darmian will become the fifth Italian to represent the Reds' senior side after Carlos Sartori, Massimo Taibi, Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Macheda. The only other United player to sign from Torino was master marksman Denis Law in 1962. www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2015/Jul/Profile-of-new-Manchester-United-signing-Matteo-Darmian.aspx |

When did the Darmian rumours surface? Wednesday?
Signed by Saturday, no-one, not even the likes of Ogden or Ladyman had a whiff of what was happening.
Fair play to Ed.

Another outstanding young player Compared to the legendary defender Antonio Cabrini in some quarters, Darmian will become the fifth Italian to represent the Reds' senior side
after Carlos Sartori, Massimo Taibi, Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Macheda. The only other United player to sign from Torino was master marksman Denis Law in 1962.
Ed, YOU DA MAN!
What is particularly exciting for me is the assembly of youth and experienced veterans, who are great players, & who know what winning is all about. I think the fans
know this is LvG's last run, and I think he intends to freeking leave a legend when he goes to his beautiful Portuguese Villa.
Obviously, looking at his resume, he is a very successful teacher of young players. One of the best things about young players is they don't know that
they are not supposed to kick ass and win trophies, they go out and go for it, and they are fun to watch, even if sometimes a bit frustrating.
This is going to be a GREAT year to be a United fan \0/

Been watching Video, this young man is one hell of a player, not just leading tackler, but he has a great nose for the goal,
very calm on the ball and he is very quick. Looking at the vids, he hits full speed in about 2 steps and he plays under control
with his head up. Looking at this transfer window, no doubt about how organized everything is. It seems to be going by the numbers.
Wonder what other magnificent surprises Ed an LvG are fixing to unveil before heading out for the tour.
The question that I have to ask myself, isn't it about the greatest thing since sliced bread to know that soon we'll
be seeing the bright future that is this upcoming season beginning, and at same time, watch what other surprises Ed unveils for
LvG to make Buttsniffing shitbirds like Carragher realize how long the dippers year is going to be.

He seems equally at ease playing left or right fullback. He's also got a great burst of speed in him.
