Juve eye Alves replacement

Manchester United's Matteo Darmian has emerged as Juventus' first choice to replace Dani Alves, who looks set to join Manchester City.

According to 'Sky Sports', the beaten Champions League finalists are also considering Real Madrid's Danilo and Monaco's reported Manchester United target Fabinho.

Darmian has been in and out of the Manchester United side since joining the club for £12.7million from Torino in 2015.

He started just 15 of United's 38 Premier League games last season but his ability to play as a wing back is seen as very attractive by the Italians.
