Man United star linked with Old Trafford exit in January after falling out of favour with Jose Mourinho

Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian could be on his way out of Old Trafford in January.

The Italy international has found first-team opportunities hard to come by this season. Mourinho has opted to field Antonio Valencia at right-back instead of the 28-year-old defender.

A source close to Galatasaray has revealed to Turkish-Football.com that the Lions are preparing a move for Darmian in January. Per the source, Gala want to sign the Italy international on an 18-month loan deal.

Meanwhile, the Turkish outlet Fanatik state that Galatasaray are also interested in a move for Atletico Madrid’s Juanfran.

The Super Lig giants are looking to bolster their squad over the summer as they make a push for the league title in the second half of the season.

Darmian has made just four Premier League appearances for Manchester United this season. The Red Devils take on an out-of-form West Brom this weekend.
