Although everyone is rightly muppetspunking over fecking Basti and Morgsy Schni Schni, I'm buzzed that we have such a good player in Don Matteo.

Did someone find a funky youtube compilation with freaky music from him yet? Need to get my muppet juices flowing for him too.
What's probably the best moment of this fella's life is getting completely drowned out by the Sch brothers muppetmania 
This thread will get bumped often during the season, for his great performances, i am sure of that.

Probably a good thing. Takes the focus off of him.
Looks good.
Exactly the sort of signing fellaini needed too, shame fabregas never happened.
He'll be our best signing of the lot this summer. He'll be this season's Herrera.
He is so shy and timid, you dont see him in any of the selfie/squad pictures. Not necessarily a bad thing, just hope he integrates into the squad/life in England.
My wife fancies him. Welcome to United Matteo!!
Your wife has the same tastes as mine. He can pass off as Ander's more handsome brother.
Cheers mate
It's been such a mental weekend that I completely forgot about poor Darmian! Welcome to Manchester Matteo!
Talksport discussing why Clyne should have gone to United because we need a righback, we can't have Valencia starting for us in that position again.
Fecking presenters agreeing with the caller, if only an established Italian right back were to become available...

wonder what @DomesticTadpole thinks about him compared to Ander
Seal of approval from RedNev.
Gary Neville knows his fullbacks as well. I don't know much about Darmian but all the noise about this transfer suggests it could end up being a very shrewd signing.
In other news, now that Ronaldo's off to Madrid a lot of responsibility is going to fall on young Wayne Rooney's shoulders.
He clearly didn't do a good job then. Rooney had no interest in tracking this guy at the WC and so he gave Baines a spin around.
His English is decent too. Was wondering how he'd get on but it seems he's a very educated lad and should hopefully fit in well.
Is Darmian training with the group? It was reported that during his first day at the club he trained in a solo session with van Gaal.
who spread that report?
Thanks for that photo. Good to see he's training with the group now.

Most likely it was because he missed our scheduled training sessions because of flight and medical. I'm assuming that since now he's training with the group as confirmed by that photo.
Excited by this guy, a good age at 25 not too young and has plenty of experience should make a big difference for us.
also probably the first time LvG trained with him face to face, as opposed to Schweini (of course) and Morgan (already known in PL)
Schneiderlin and him are my two favorite signings this window.
He's nice, but I still like Ander.
Agree with this - not every player wants to be the centre of attention all the time. I dont really know much about Darmian but based on what I have seen, I think he will be quite content to be able to focus on settling into the team without any distractions.
Also agree with this, although I do think we could potentially strike gold with Depay. All in all a good set of transfers.
Bastian Fecking schweinsteiger.
Not comparing them.
Signing a two - footed fullback from an unfashionable club, for a small fee, who is an international and quite reserved, reminds me of when we signed Irwin.
I hope he mirrors his career here.

Smalling proposing during pre season training, completely unprofessionalwho spread that report?
or helps us maintain 100% success record regarding transfers from Torino FC
At the time of the goal Welbeck had come on and Rooney switched to the right - it was Welbeck falling asleep that gave Italy the goal, not Rooney.
Here Here!
Although I wasn't around for that one.
Man Utd 1:0 Club America
Darmian's performance so far summed up:
Looks like he's being playing with United for years. Really impressed.
Intelligent movement, good positioning and good on the ball. I like the lad.
That little piece of defensive awareness just before the stroke of half time, when Jones stepped up and he moved infield to close the gap and sniff out the danger - that's what Valencia's just not doing. The virtues of being an actual RB I suppose.
Looks very solid.
Looks very solid.
Looks great. I like how he has height but pace also, and I can imagine some really good stamina. Looks like a potential RB staple, if he can adjust to the Premier League.
