The rumor mill in Manchester is spinning fast this morning. Following a resurgent run under Michael Carrick, Manchester United have reportedly identified their "dream" summer reinforcement: Inter Milan’s assist-machine, Federico Dimarco.
According to reports from Tuttosport (as of February 10, 2026), the Red Devils have placed the 28-year-old at the top of their wishlist to solve their long-standing left-sided imbalance.
Why Dimarco? The Serie A "Assist King" 🪄
Dimarco isn't just a left-back; he is currently the most prolific wing-back in Europe’s top five leagues. His 2025/26 season has been nothing short of historic:
The Stat Line: Dimarco has recorded 5 goals and 13 assists in just 22 Serie A appearances this season.
The Record Hunt: He is currently on track to challenge Ronaldinho’s all-time Serie A assist record (18), a feat that has made him the frontrunner for the Serie A MVP award.
The Masterclass: Just last Sunday (Feb 8), he provided a hat-trick of assists in a 5–0 demolition of Sassuolo, a performance that reportedly "wowed" United’s scouting department.
The "Patrick Dorgu" Problem
Manchester United already invested heavily in Patrick Dorgu (the 21-year-old Danish talent) to fill the left-back role. However, internal reports suggest United view Dimarco as a "significant upgrade" in the attacking phase, specifically to support Carrick's new vertical style of play.
Transfer Insight: "United are looking for a specialist who can provide world-class delivery from wide areas. While they appreciate Dorgu’s potential, Dimarco is a finished product—a player who can turn 1-0 games into 3-0 games with his left foot alone."
The Verdict: This would be a "statement" signing for the INEOS era. While pryng a lifelong Interista away from a title-winning side is a massive mountain to climb, United’s recent form and financial muscle mean they are no longer just "spectators" in the market for the world's best.
