Andrea Pirlo would have been perfect for Manchester United, insists fellow Italian Matteo Darmian

Matteo Darmian believes Andrea Pirlo would have been perfect for Manchester United if he had signed for them when he left Juventus.

Pirlo joined New York City in the summer of 2015 after his four-year career with the Italian champions came to an end.

But rather than head to MLS, Darmian reckons that the now 37-year-old playmaker could have had a successful end to his career at Old Trafford.

'I think in the history of Italy there are a lot of players so it is difficult to pick one, but if I have to choose, I would probably choose Pirlo,' Darmian told the club's official website.
