HYS: Should Everton buy Darmian in the summer?
Jose Mourinho is reportedly planning a Manchester United clearout in the summer and one man who looks set for the exit door is Matteo Darmian.
The Italian full-back was signed by Louis van Gaal and, initially, his steady style at right-back made some United fans think that the club had finally found the long-term successor to Gary Neville.
He is the kind of safety-first defender that Mourinho usually loves, but while he was often fielded at left-back last season and largely did the job professionally, this season, he has not had anywhere near the same level of gametime.

Therefore, it is no surprise that the Italian looks set for the exit door and one side who have struggled at full-back this season are Everton.
While many observers may expect Darmian to return to Italy, it might be worth the Toffees making an enquiry. He would be more reliable left-back back-up than Cuco Martina and Allardyce had to rely on youngster Jonjoe Kenny largely in the absence of Seamus Coleman.
