Manchester United defender flirts with AC Milan
Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian feels nostalgic about his time at Milan but he’s convinced that new owners Elliot will take the club back where it belongs.
In a few minutes AC Milan face Torino. Considering that both Lazio and Roma failed to win yesterday the Rossoneri have a great chance to further consolidate their Champions League candidacy and three points today would put Gennaro Gattuso’s side just one point behind Inter who currently occupy the third spot in classification.
However, off the pitch topics remain fascinating as well, especially those concerning the transfer market. La Gazzetta Dello Sport, interviewed Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian, who has represented both AC Milan and Torino.
“Milan was my school of life. I became part of the club when I was a child (12) and I left at 19. They taught me everything. Regrets? No, I will always thank the club. There are no regrets. I was very young, I wanted to play, I made my choices and the club its choices“.
“Gattuso? He is proving to have good ideas, Elliott is doing great things, they are rebuilding the club in the right way, they want to bring Milan back where it belongs“. The 29 year old full back also confirmed that he misses Italy, hinting at a return.
“If I miss Italy? Eh… I have to say yes. I know I’m in one of the best clubs in the world and I’m proud of it but now I miss Italy. I love my country“, he concluded. Matteo Darmian becomes a free agent next summer and will be free to sign for any club he wants. The Italian was one of the best full back in Serie A before earning a 18 million euros transfer to Man United.
