Manchester United fullback Matteo Darmian admits he hopes to sign for a Serie A club today.

The Serie A transfer deadline falls later tonight and Darmian is anxiously waiting for news of a deal.

He told Libero: "United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, everyone has to deserve a place and I work in this way, but of course I would prefer to play more, even if I leave Manchester.

"Where I dream of returning is to Italy, Serie A , where I have had a lot of satisfaction, there's a train called the national team that I cannot miss ... Let's see what happens by 8pm tonight."

Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli have all been in contact with United this summer for Darmian.
