Manchester United have announced they have secured the
services of Torino right-back Matteo Darmian on a four-year deal.
The 25-year-old Italian made 146 appearances and scored five
league goals for Torino since making his debut in 2011.
The defender also has 13 international caps for Italy and was part of their World Cup squad last summer in Brazil. He has
represented his country at every youth level from U-17 to U-21.
Darmian told the United website: "It is a dream come true to be
joining Manchester United. I have loved the time that I have spent at Torino and I would like to thank the club and the fans for everything they have done for me.
"I am sure they can understand when the opportunity to join the
biggest club in world came along it was something I had to do. To
work with Louis van Gaal, a manager that has achieved so much in football is such an exciting prospect."
Van Gaal added: "Matteo is a right-sided full back with the
versatility of also being able to play on the left.
"He is a strong defender and has the ability to go forward in the
attacking positions which is a fantastic attribute to have and much needed in the fast rhythm of the Premier League.
"Matteo will be a great addition to the team. I am delighted to
welcome Matteo to the club and look forward to working with him in the coming days.”
