Let's see what happens - Darmian unsure of Manchester United future
Despite ending the season as Manchester United's first choice left-back, Matteo Darmian is not sure if he will stay at the club.
Matteo Darmian has cast doubt on his Manchester United future, with the full-back continuing to be linked with a return to Serie A.
Although naturally a right-back, Darmian ended the season as United's regular left-back, but the Italy international started only 15 Premier League matches in a stop-start campaign under Jose Mourinho.

"Surely this is not the moment to talk about the transfer market," Darmian told reporters after Italy's 3-0 friendly win against Uruguay on Wednesday. "I wouldn't know what to answer.
"I have a contract with Manchester United, so let's see what happens."
