Reports in Italy: Man Utd January deal close after player agrees terms

The Manchester United defender was heavily linked with a move to the Serie A giants but a move fell through.

Darmian has failed to impress Jose Mourinho since he took to the helm - making just one appearance in all competitions this season.

Antonio Valencia and youngster Timothy Fosu-Mensah are currently ahead of him in the pecking order and that has left Darmian to consider his options.

Inter Milan are reportedly showing a strong interest in Matteo Darmian

His time in England could be coming to an end though with Italian publication Gazetta dello Sport suggesting the 26-ear-old is edging closer to a move.

Football Italia claim Inter have ‘practically agreed’ terms with the defender over a proposed loan switch.

The report suggests the move will initially be a loan deal that allows the Serie A giants the option to buy at the end of the campaign.

Signed by Louis van Gaal from Torino in the summer of 2015, Darmian settled in well to life in Manchester.

But a string of injuries, coupled with some poor performances, have led to the Italian being deemed surplus to requirements under Mourinho.

Darmian’s current contract with the Red Devils runs until 2019.
