United set to move for Torino defender

 

Manchester United are interested in making a move for Torino defender Nikola Maksimovic, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, via 101 Great Goals.

 

The Red Devils signed Matteo Darmian from Torino for £12.7m last summer and are now set to do business with the Serie A outfit once again, with reports in Italy claiming they are in the mix to sign Maksimovic.

 

Maksimovic, 24, still has four years remaining on his current deal, and has also courted interest from Napoli, but according to the report, the Serbia international will leave Torino at the end of the season.
