What an honour to bestow on a young player.
With Italian full-back Matteo Darmian set for a medical ahead of his move to Manchester United, naturally the supporters of one of the World's biggest clubs have been doing a bit of homework on their highly rated new signing.
Darmian's versatility and ability to comfortably play either right or left back have drawn comparisons to the most consistent player in the history of World football, Ireland's own; Denis Irwin.
Every player looks top on youtube but just watching vids on Matteo Darmian and he looks like a 7/10 player every week! Denis Irwin type

Coleman scored 3/3 in the 'Next Denis Irwin' test.
Darmian scored 2/3, he'll do. ?
