Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
Matteo Darmian - Didn't make United's match-day squad

Italian right-back, Matteo Darmian has no future at United.

After surprisingly starting United's first match of the season versus Leicester City, Darmian was given a torrid time by Leicester player, Demarai Gray and looked unassured throughout.

Despite no Antonio Valencia, again unavailable versus Brighton, Darmian didn't just fail to make the starting XI, he didn't make the match-day squad altogether.

In a further blow, he was replaced by Ashley Young, who spent the majority of last season at left-back instead. Young didn't look comfortable either but seems to still be ahead of Darmian in the pecking order, which makes the Italian third choice at best.

His hopes of regular first-team football don't seem likely to be fulfilled with United.
