Manchester United are reportedly prepared to keep Matteo Darmian at Old Trafford unless they receive an acceptable permanent offer.

Manchester United have reportedly decided that they are in no rush to part ways with Matteo Darmian.

The Italy international has spent the last three-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, but the versatile full-back is keen to return to his homeland.

Juventus are one of a number of Serie A teams who hold an interest in the 29-year-old, but according to the London Evening Standard, United have no plans to accept any deal below their own valuation.

The Italian giants are said to be keen on a loan deal, but United are allegedly prepared to wait for permanent bids in the summer should one not arrive before the end of the month.

Darmian has only made six appearances in all competitions during the current campaign but is regarded as reliable backup by club officials and caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
