Friday 30 August 2019 17:10, UK
Parma have agreed a £1.4m deal with Manchester United for defender Matteo Darmian, according to Sky in Italy.
The 29-year-old is set to sign a three-year contract, or two-year with the option for a third, with the Serie A side and is set to fly to Italy over the weekend to undergo a medical.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted on Friday that Serie A clubs had manifested interest for the Italy international over the summer and is likely to leave.
"I can see maybe Matteo [leaving]. There has been some interest in Matteo over in Italy, wanting to go back home," Solskjaer said.
Darmian is poised to leave United four years after joining from Torino in a £13m deal, during which he amassed 92 appearances for the club across all competitions and won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League.
