Inter Milan 'eye swoop for Matteo Darmian'

Inter Milan are reportedly interested in signing former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian.

The 29-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford over the summer and was subsequently allowed to join Parma on a four-year contract.

Darmian has played the full 90 minutes in six of his new club's eight Serie A matches this season, only missing the fixtures with Torino and SPAL due to a thigh strain.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter boss Antonio Conte has been impressed with the right-back's performances on his return to Serie A, and the Milan giants are now considering a swoop.

Darmian played in Italy's top flight for AC Milan, Palermo and Torino before earning a move to United, where he made 92 appearances over the course of four campaigns.

The defender only managed seven outings for the 20-time English champions last term, though, and was linked with a number of clubs before finally completing a move to Roberto D'Aversa's side.
