Manchester United have just given permission to let Matteo Darmian go. Yes or no? Pro's and Con's listed below:

 

Pro's:

- Full Back, can play left side or right side, meaning we can get rid of ivanovic, and put in someone who isn't a liability

- Most likely less than 30m Euros, he was bought for about 12m to go to United, chances are the most they'll ask for is about 30m.

- He's experienced in Serie A with Torino, so Conte could be interested

 

Con's

- It's Manchester United, so they're a rival

- Didn't have the most brilliant season last year, like most of United's squad

- United will most likely over inflate is actual price tag to something ridiculous

 

Cheers!

Doesn't chip in with enough goals/assists for me, would prefer we spent extra on Ricardo Rodriguez. That said if we can't sign Rodriguez I'd take him for £8-9m, anything more and we'd be getting fleeced.

I'd take him, think he'd well under Comte and then we'd have three full backs who can play on both the left and right.

Because of Conte this can be considered.

I think he could do well here. Underutilized by LVG last and Conte could turn him into another Azpi

I'm a fan, although he didn't really tear up trees last season. On the other hand, he was a part of the division's strongest defence.

 

There are certainly positives:

 

- He's been 'broken into' the Premier League

- He should theoretically be entering his prime at his age

- He has an already-existing working relationship with Conte

- He can play in either full-back position

- It's a position in which we sorely lack numbers

 

 

I don't know that Man Utd could be convinced to sell though; their only serious options in that position currently are Valencia and Phil Jones. Not ideal for a side aiming for the title.

Let them keep their dead weight. Other teams seem to be doing that with us. He's no world beater

I think he is pretty decent and wasn't used properly at United last season. We could do worse, i don't think we will go for him though.

wouldn't mind him, considering we are very light in the FB areas.

Not a fan, terrible positioning and poor in 1v1. Defensive liability

I was always under the impression that it was the other way around, terrible in attack but good defensively. I remember him being really solid before his injury.
