Barcelona join Darmian race

Out of favour at Manchester United, Matteo Darmian is likely to leave the Old Trafford club once the transfer window reopens in January.

The Italian right-back has been widely frozen by Jose Mourinho this season, who has only used the 26-year-old defender twice in the Europa League thus far, while Darmian is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League.

Matteo Darmian joined Manchester United at the beginning of 2015-16 season, notching 28 Premier League performances for the club and scoring a single goal during that time.

Frustrated with the lack of minutes for Red Devils, Matteo Darmian is already looking for a solution to his frustrations at Old Trafford.

Inter Milan have already expressed their interest in signing the Manchester United outcast as the Nerazzurri are ready to offer the Italy international an escape route, but the Serie A outfit will apparently face a stiff competition for the right-back.

According to Corrierre dello Sport, the Spanish champions Barcelona are also keen on Italy international, who is regarded as a potential replacement for wantaway defender Aleix Vidal.
