If he will be fit maybe.
Matteo Darmian | LVG confirms he's on his way here for a medical

We'll sell Rafael to Turkey/Russia for £5m and he'll barely play there, more likely.
Fixed.
Looks like this one might actually be going through, based on the reports. Don't think I've ever seen him play so I don't have much to say about it, but I did see that Tor-Kristian Karlsen believes he'll do well in the Premier League, which has me slightly worried..
Glad that we're addressing the parts of the team that needs tending to.

Lol, the PL is definitely not the bar.
So they just allow him free reign at goal? I don't think that ball is as difficult to intercept as you make out.
This is actually happening it seems.
Very pleased with our business this Summer if we confirm Darmian and Schneiderlin. Exactly the correct targets along with Depay, not very expensive but at a good age and provide our team with exactly what's currently missing from it, unlike last Summer where we largely went for bigger names ahead of appropriate targets. Now we should look for a center half (Ramos or Otamendi) and perhaps a good forward. If we got Otamendi and Lacazette I'd be over the moon.

Yep, he's no Armand Traoré for sure.
Difficult not to get giddy over this and Schneiderlin
the weather in Torino is shit right? and it's an industrial city right?
Yeah, I heard its pretty ugly.
I just hope things will heat up with Schneiderlin like they're heating up right now with Darmian.
Good stuff!
I love how the English reporters are getting their tweets in about the deal without crediting Di Marzio like they have sources.
Maybe I'm wrong though, someone who's knows that better should confirm. But both Milan and Torino are nothing special, especially compared to other Italian cities which are mostly beautiful.
Torino's quite lovely and surrounded by the alps... Beats Milan by a mile.
It's not very pretty. But it's not too far to the alps if you want to ski.
True. The balance of this side will be great if we can pull this off. Then go for a new goalkeeper and send De Gea packing.
Yup all those disgusting alps in the background of turin will make anyone sick to their stomach
Yeah, I'd be happy with those 2, and Depay as well. But as you imply, we would still need more new players. The squad has many many flaws.
This seems like a really sensible piece of business by the club. Good signing, onto the next one now please
It's one of the rare case where there isn't much to do, except foul Darmian.
Edit: The only stoppable player is the passer and even then it's a one on one, everything can happen.
The lack of good striker is IMO the biggest one. We could get by without new center half with added protection from Schneiderlin but we cannot get away with very little threat up front (I don't think Rooney is a top striker at the minute and he lacks pace).
So is this cnut any good?
Lacazette?
This thread was created on Saturday, imagine that.
Yes, a new striker > a new CB. But so so difficult to get a top class striker. Might have to gird ourselves for someone who is not top bracket. Even a Benteke...
Don't know. Saw him play twice against England and he looked good going forward in those games. Surely a better option than Valencia, so I'm just relieved.
Nope, not sure how he even made to the professional level.
Don't know why but I didn't think we'd actually go after Darmian, even though he was a very obvious choice. Maybe because of our lack of history with Italian players or something.
Anyway, this deal would make a lot of sense. Better player than Clyne, better value than Coleman, has performed well for a big international team, good age, good skill set. All good really.

Maybe this is the signing to kick it all off.
Can't say I know an awful lot about him, but the vibes sound good on here.

Great news, if true. Depay and Darmian are a great first two signings... Very smart purchases, young, very talented, and hungry to prove how good they are and to win. The type of signings I always liked more. Schneiderlin next please.
The 'Ander Herrera' award, given to players who are deemed extremely loveable, will go to Darmian next season.
Still don't understand this opinion. I'm not his biggest fan as a person, but as a player there's very few better up front still.
We do need a top striker - Rooney is getting on and will need replacing, plus we need options / cover etc right now. But when played up front, he 's still top class. Unless you're getting somebody at the level of Aguero or the big La Liga strikers, you're nbot going to improve on him much.
I was just going to say this, he seems to be the full back version of Ander.

Just think how long it will be by the time the transfer window closes and we all realise that we aren't signing him after all!
Just hope he doesn't tweet like a robot, and give generic answers in interviews, who am i kidding this is United we're talking about.
It looks like they are just copying Italian journos tbh
