Manchester United may have to wait until next summer to address the issue of Matteo Darmian’s future, with the club hitting a double barrier in the form of and a lack of suitors in the out-of-favor Italian and a restrictive 40 million euro ($44M) price tag for potential replacement Fabinho, sources tell Goal UK.
Darmian was brought to Old Trafford in the summer of 2015 by then-manager Louis van Gaal but failed to nail down a regular place under the Dutchman and made just 32 starts in 59 games during the 2015-16 season.
And things have only gotten worse for the former Torino ace since Jose Mourinho arrived in June, with Darmian having been afforded only one Europa League appearance this season and converted winger Antonio Valencia starting every league game so far at right back.
