Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian believes former club Torino are capable of beating Juventus in the derby della Mole.

Darmian earned his move to United after impressing with Toro.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport, "Well, looking at the evolution of Serie A, I would say that the point is not so much about stopping Cristiano (Ronaldo), but how can you stop this Juventus, which has so far lost only two points in the championship against Genoa in a game in which they were in total control.

"This Juve has a crazy armour, which can be glimpsed by a few weak points. But, and believe me it is not rhetoric, the derby is a game in itself: for the tension, for what it represents, for the charge that it transmits you. This Torino is pretty tough, it's strong, it just has to believe it as we believed."
