Italy coach Ventura raps \'bizarre\' Man Utd over Darmian treatment

Published on: 30 May 2017

Italy coach Giampiero Ventura has accused Manchester United of acting "bizarrely".

Ventura wants to select Matteo Darmian for the San Marino friendly this week.

"I'd also add Darmian, he doesn't have permission from United to come to us until June 5," Ventura pointed out in his pre-match Press conference.

“A bizarre choice, as he's been stopped since the Europa League final, and I think we've lost him for the Uruguay game too. A bizarre choice.

“We're not going to cry though, we've lost many players over the months but locally we have a lot of youngsters thanks to the training camps.

“[Andrea] Conti, [Danilo] D'Ambrosio and [Leonardo] Spinazzola will be important for us in the upcoming matches.

“It seems that [Andrea] Barzagli, [Leonardo] Bonucci and [Giorgio] Chiellini will all play [in the Champions League final] on Saturday and I've spoken to all three of them.

“They're playing on June 3 and then we play June 7, a very important friendly for us and I asked them all to give their availability.

“The response was total availability, but there's a further step from being available to being healthy."
