DBasia.news – Matteo Darmian, Manchester United’s full-back, indicates his return to Italy and has the potential to strengthen AC Milan. Darmian said he was proud to play at the Milan academy and admired the club legend, Paolo Maldini.
Matteo Darmian is on the doorstep of Manchester United exit. Darmian services are no longer needed in the design of the Red Devils squad.
These conditions make Matteo Darmian associated with several clubs. Some of them come from Darmian-born countries, Italy, such as Juventus, Inter Milan, and Naples.
Even so, Matteo Darmian wants to return to his childhood club, AC Milan. Not without reason, Darmian is a graduate of the I Rossoneri academy.
Plus, Matteo Darmian’s idol, Paolo Maldini, returned to AC Milan as a senior. The versatile defender also hinted at the desire to return to the San Siro.
“I grew up in AC Milan because I spent nine to 10 years in the academy. I grew up as a football player and personally. I am proud of that,” said Matteo Darmian.
“When I was a child, AC Milan was one of the top teams in Italy. I am always happy to watch them play.”
“Of course at AC Milan there are many great footballers. However, in my opinion, Paolo Maldini will always be my idol. In my opinion, AC Milan is a rival to Inter Milan and Juventus,” he added.
Matteo Darmian only made four appearances for AC Milan’s main squad. After that, the 29-year-old defender had time to defend Palermo and Torino before joining Manchester United.
