A report claims that Juventus will attempt to sign Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian on loan in the January transfer window.

Juventus will reportedly attempt to sign Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian on loan when the January transfer window opens for business.

Darmian, 26, was strongly linked with a return to Italian football in the summer, but Man United boss Jose Mourinho decided to keep the defender at Old Trafford.

Antonio Valencia has started the new campaign as Mourinho's first-choice right-back, however, and it is understood that Darmian will be allowed to leave on loan at the start of 2017.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are keen admirers of the Italian international and will attempt to sign the full-back on loan for the remainder of the 2016-17 campaign.

Darmian made 39 appearances for Man United last season after joining from Torino.
