Darmian Agent Hints Of Move

Matteo Darmian's agent has suggested the defender may look to leave Manchester United in January unless his situation changes.

The 26-year-old, who is currently away on international duty with Italy, has fallen out of favour at United and has made just one appearance this season.

He was in the matchday squad against Stoke on Sunday, but his agent, Fausto Pari, says he need to play more.

"He's playing little or nothing and it's a shame because he's an Italy international," he told Radio CRC. "If the situation doesn't change by January, we'll have to think of something. He risks also losing his place in the national team.

"We've got to see what United want to do. Italian clubs have tried [to sign him], but United closed the door immediately."

Signed from Torino last year, Darmian made 39 appearances in the 2015/16 season and is under contract until 2019.

Pari added: "We're only at the start of October so there is still time and we will see how the situation evolves.

"Napoli have [Ivan] Strinic in that position, though. I don't want to do [Napoli sporting director Cristiano] Giuntoli's work for him, though, and it will be up to them to decide whether they want to make a move for Darmian."
