MATTEO DARMIAN has asked Jose Mourinho to let him join Juventus this summer.
The Italian champions see the Manchester United full-back as their ideal replacement for Dani Alves, who is understood to have had his contract at the club cancelled.
It would be a loan initially, with the option to make the deal permanent after a year, at around £17.5million — which would be a profit £5m on what United paid Torino to bring him to Old Trafford in 2015.
