Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing the Juventus left-back.

According to Italian media outlet Il Bianco Nero, Manchester United are willing to offer Juventus the services of Matteo Darmian as part of a potential deal that would see Alex Sandro move to Old Trafford.

The 28-year-old was brought to Manchester by Louis van Gaal from Torino in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £12.7 million, but he has failed to establish himself with the Red Devils.

Darmian has managed just 41 Premier League starts for the three-time European Cup winners, and just 17 since Jose Mourinho took over in the summer of 2016.

The Italian definitely seems dispensable to United, and Il Bianco Nero claim that Mourinho is willing to offer him to Juve as part of a deal that would see Alex Sandro move in the opposite direction.

Sandro, 27, is worth £36 million, according to Transfer Markt, whilst Darmian is valued at just £10.6 million, so United would obviously have to offer a considerable amount of money to Juve, as well as the services of the Italy international.

The Brazilian would be a superb signing for the Red Devils, if they can make a deal for him happen, and he could turn out to be the missing piece of the puzzle for Mourinho.
