Louis van Gaal confirms Matteo Darmian is on his way to Manchester United.

Louis van Gaal has confirmed Torino full-back Matteo Darmian is heading to Manchester for a medical ahead of a move to Manchester United.

Van Gaal was speaking at the unveiling of Memphis Depay at Old Trafford, but with the £25million capture of the Dutch forward known for some time, it was news of Darmian's arrival that grabbed Friday's headlines.

Upon being asked if there was any truth in the rumours that the Italian defender would be joining the club, Van Gaal responded: 'Matteo Darmian, I've read that in the papers. That is true,' before answering in the affirmative when asked if he was on his way for a medical.  

Darmian, who said goodbye to his Torino teammates and fans before heading to the UK, admitted to an Italian journalist that joining United would be the fulfilment of a lifelong dream.
