Darmian excited by move
Incoming Manchester United signing Matteo Darmian has hailed the move as "a dream come true" as he prepares to join the Premier League giants.
The Old Trafford club have been in the hunt for a right-back for some time, coming close to signing Nathaniel Clyne before considering Daniel Alves and Seamus Coleman.
But this week they made their ￡12.9million move for the Torino and Italy defender , and he seems pretty delighted about it:
"I'm very excited, we'll face this new adventure," he told Sky Italia.
"Manchester United is a dream come true, (but) I prefer to talk about my future when I’ll be in Manchester."
Depay speaks
"I want to play, of course. It's up to the boss where he wants to put me.
"I'm excited about scoring goals and giving assists.
"I'm a striker."
Van Gaal sings Depay's praises
"He's one of the few highly talented boys of his age.
"I know it is not easy (to adapt). Players like Rojo, Di Maria and Blind have had problems.
"We have to give him time."
Van Gaal on Depay's position
"I have to see how we solve the problem.
"It's one of the reasons we bought Memphis. He played striker in the Dutch team and learns very quickly.
"He can play in different positions. We have to wait and see in which position he can give the most benefit to the team."
Depay sees himself as a forward
He may have spent much of his time in the Netherlands cutting in from the left flank, but Depay made it clear that he is willing – or even keen – to play through the centre at Old Trafford.
"I want to play, of course," he said early on in the presser.
"It's up to the boss where he wants to put me.
"I'm excited about scoring goals and giving assists. I'm a striker."
Van Gaal on transfer prospects
"When we feel we can say Van Persie is gone, you will hear from us.
"We have enough strikers but Man United shall not buy [for the sake of it]. I want to develop players. When you buy it has to be better than what you have.
"In the season, it will be shown whether our thinking is true."
On Darmian: "I've read it in the papers... but it is true.
He then confirms Darmian is heading to Manchester to seal a transfer.
...and Van Gaal sounds happy to oblige
The United boss all but confirmed that Robin van Persie is leaving the club. "When we feel we can say Van Persie is gone, you will hear from us," he said, before confirming that his new signing is able to lead the line if needed.
"It's one of the reasons we bought Memphis," Van Gaal continued.
"He played striker in the Dutch team and learns very quickly.
"He can play in different positions. We have to wait and see in which position he can give the most benefit to the team."
