Manchester United is delighted to announce that Matteo Darmian has completed his transfer from Torino. Matteo joins on a four-year contract with the option
to extend for a further year.
Darmian, 25, has made 146 appearances and scored 5 league goals for Torino since his debut in 2011. The defender has 13 international
caps for Italy and was part of their World Cup squad last summer in Brazil. Matteo Darmian said:
“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.”
Louis van Gaal said:
“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.”
