Italy full-back Matteo Darmian looks set to complete a move from Torino to Manchester United, and this letter has all but confirmed the news.

The AC Milan youth product, 25, left the San Siro for Palermo before settling in at Torino from 2011.

He has risen through the Italian international youth ranks, earning the first of 13 caps so far in 2014.

Darmian has been linked with a move to United all summer, where Louis van Gaal hopes the full-back will help fix the club's defensive issues.
