4 players Manchester United should sell this summer

#3 Matteo Darmian

Darmian has been very poor this season

Matteo Darmian’s arrival in the summer of 2015 was deemed a great piece of business by then manager, Louis van Gaal. The Italian full-back had been steadily building his reputation with confident displays for Torino and his value skyrocketed when he tormented England at the 2014 World Cup.

Fast forward three years later and Darmian looks like a pale shadow of the promising full-back he was once made out to be. Though it can be argued that he was played out of position multiple times in a back-three or at left-back, the truth is he did not grab the opportunities presented to him.

He does produce the occasional defensive masterclass (remember the Europa League final) when played at right-back but those have been sporadic and not good enough for a top club like Manchester United.

The decision to sell Rafael da Silva to Lyon seems even more baffling now considering Darmian’s poor displays.
