Matteo Darmian has become a hero for Inter and a 'player that every coach would want in the team'
Big ReadManchester UnitedFour years later, Darmian has just made his 150th appearance and is a key figure in Europe’s best defence. Italian champions elect Inter have conceded just 13 goals all season in the league, fewer than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues, and no defender has played more minutes for them than Darmian.
Although he starts at wing-back, it is the centre-backs who more often make breaks forward, with Darmian tucking in as cover in defence or midfield, meaning the lack of pace that often meant he was turned inside out of his United shirt is rarely exposed. Hearing that, United fans can probably barely believe their ears. In Darmian’s last two years at Old Trafford, he started just 10 league games, with most of his minutes coming in cup competitions in one of the club’s more tumultuous periods. He spent more than a year trying to manufacture a move back to Italy before finally leaving in 2019 for a minimal fee.
