Manchester United ace is determined to leave the club

The player has been linked with summer exit

Matteo Darmian joined Manchester United from Torino for an undisclosed fee believed to be £12.7 million, signing a 4 year contract with an option to extend it by further 1 year in 2015.

The Italy International made significant contributions during his first 2 seasons with the Red Devils despite not being a regular starter for them.

But the 28 year old struggled to make an impression under Jose Mourinho and fell behind the pecking order last season, with the manager preferring Antonio Valencia ahead of him. He just managed to make 16 appearances in all competitions.

The Premier League giants have already completed the signing of teenage full back Diogo Dalot from Porto few weeks ago which indicates that the Italian’s future at Old Trafford might be over.

Though the defender’s contract expires at the end of the next season and has the option to sign on for an extra year at Old Trafford. But the Portuguese manager is prepared to let him go as he is not part of his first team plans.

He has featured in the pre-season matches as both Valencia and Dalot are injured but has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland, with Juventus, Inter and Napoli interested in him.

Mourinho even confirmed that the Itaian full-back wants to leave the club but the Red Devils will only sanction a sale if they receive right offer.

Darmian has not changed his mind and is determined to leave this summer despite the other 2 right-backs are sidelined with injury.

“I don’t think the injury of Antonio is a big injury,” He said as quoted by Goal.

“I don’t know how long he needs to stay out, but at the moment he is the captain, he’s first choice.

“I want to play more regularly. Last season, I didn’t play much – that’s my objective and my ambition.

“That’s why I spoke with the manager and also with the club about my future.

“I want to leave but we will see what happens because we don’t know.”

“It’s an option. Yes, probably,” Darmian said of a possible Serie A switch.

“We will see what happens. Honestly, I’m waiting. If I stay, I stay and I do what I did up until now. If I go, it is because the offer that another team makes will be good.

“To play for probably the best club in the world is a good thing, and for me, it’s an honour to play here and play for Manchester United. But we have to take decisions in our life and this is my decision.”
