Man Utd to announce STAR SIGNING this week

Manchester United are expected to announce the arrival of their second signing of the summer on Thursday, according to a report.

United have already agreed a £12.7m deal with Torino for star defender Matteo Darmian.

The Star now cites that manager Louis van Gaal will confirm the Italian's arrival at Old Trafford on Thursday, which is likely to coincide with striker Robin van Persie's departure to Fenerbahce.

Darmian, who is primarily a right-back, is said to have the potential to play across the defence.
