Matteo Darmian hails Louis van Gaal after Manchester United move

New Manchester United signing Matteo Darmian has revealed that he is 'excited' by the prospect of playing under manager Louis van Gaal.

The Italian right-back completed a £12.9m move to Old Trafford from Torino earlier today, after signing a four-year contract.

He told United's official website: "It is a dream come true to be joining Manchester United. I have loved the time that I have spent at Torino and I would like to thank the club and the fans for everything they have done for me.

"I am sure they can understand when the opportunity to join the biggest club in world came along it was something I had to do. To work with Louis van Gaal, a manager that has achieved so much in football is such an exciting prospect."

Darmian is United's second signing of the summer after they captured Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven.
