Manchester United are reportedly ‘very interested’ in signing Inter Milan star Federico Dimarco, according to Spanish newspaper Transfers.
After problems with the left back position, the Red Devils decided to take over Patrick Dorgu from Italian Lecce last winter. The Dane has shown glimpses of his potential in the Premier League so far, but he is still very young and needs time to develop his career.
Luke Shaw has recovered from his ongoing injury problems and is playing regularly this season. However, Ruben Amorim sees the Englishman as a left-sided centre-back in his back three system, rather than as a full-back.
So the Portuguese currently has Diego Leon as the only specialist LWB option to support Dorgu. But he is also very young and only moved to Europe from South America this summer.
That means he is not yet ready to play Premier League football, and Amorim has deployed Diogo Dalot in the LWB position at times this season.
Now, Transfers states that Amorim is keen to sign a new LWB in January, and Man Utd are ‘very interested’ in signing Dimarco having been impressed with his recent standout performances.
Dimarco to Man Utd
The Italian is regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world and has made a great start to this season, scoring twice and registering three assists in six Serie A starts.
The 27-year-old is valued at around £43million Transfer market and has entered the final two years of his current contract. So the Nerazzurri might be open to cashing in on him next year to avoid losing him for free in 2027.
Dimarco is a technically gifted player and can play threading passes between the lines. Furthermore, he is efficient in delivering excellent crosses from wide areas and is excellent at taking set pieces.
However, he is not the best one-on-one defender. Nevertheless, he is currently at the peak of his career and Dorgu needs a player like him to learn from.
Therefore, Dimarco would be a great move for Man Utd if they eventually manage to lure him away from the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in January or next summer.
Meanwhile, Man Utd went into the international break with a comfortable 2-0 win over Sunderland in the Premier League and will return to action on Sunday with a trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool.
