Gary Neville, Patrice Evra inspire Manchester United's Matteo Darmian

Matteo Darmian admits that Manchester United's former full-backs Gary Neville and Patrice Evra act as inspirations to him.

Manchester United's Matteo Darmian has revealed that the club's former full-backs Gary Neville and Patrice Evra are inspirations to him.

The duo won a combined 13 Premier League titles during their time at Old Trafford, as well as three FA Cups, five League Cups and the Champions League twice.

With those triumphs in mind, current defender Darmian has admitted that he has admiration for both players.

"They are two full-backs that have created football history, not only at Manchester United but in the world. I've seen them both play, they have both been two very important pillars for United. They've contributed to the success of the club," the Italian told the club's official website.

"They were so great it's almost impossible to reach what they achieved, but they can be an incentive to always give more and always work to your best to try to at least get a bit closer to what they did.

"They've had a lot of success and become legends of a very important club, that's probably their greatest achievement. All the trophies that they won here and having become points of reference of this club."

Darmian joined the Red Devils in the summer following a four-season stint with Torino.
