Italy full-back Matteo Darmian has revealed that joining Manchester United was a no brainer and he is aiming to win trophies at Old Trafford in the near future.
The Italian international joined Manchester United from Torino in the summer and impressed during his first few appearances in a Red Devils shirt this season.
While his form has petered off in the last few weeks, many still feel the 25-year-old has the ability to become Manchester United’s first choice right-back for years to come.
Darmian has revealed that he followed the Premier League during his time in Italy and admits that once Manchester United showed an interest in him, he was not going to let the opportunity to move to England slip away this summer.
And the stature of Manchester United in world football also made the decision to arrive at Old Trafford easier.

The full-back told Inside United: “I used to watch the Premier League on television and it was well known that it was perhaps one of the best leagues in the world.
“So, when I got the call from United, I didn’t have to think twice about it at all. For me, it was a big step in my career and a really big opportunity personally that I didn’t want to let slip away.
“Of course, Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs, not just in England but the whole world, and, because of the history as well, all these factors made it an easy decision for me.”
Darmian feels Manchester United are synonymous with picking up silverware and he is hoping to help the team do the same during his time at Old Trafford.
“United are a club that is used to winning lots of trophies and my ambition is to win as many games as possible in order to help us lift this silverware as we go forward.”
