Every Italian to ever play for Manchester United

Manchester United has seen a total of six players hail from Italy throughout their history. The first Italian to represent the club was Carlo Sartori, who made his debut back in 1965 and went on to make 50 appearances before moving to Italy in 1973.

The club's most successful Italian player was Matteo Darmian, who played 92 times for the team between 2015 and 2019. Darmian won multiple trophies during his time at Old Trafford, including the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League. After leaving Manchester United, he had a successful career in Italy for Parma and Inter Milan.

Federico Macheda scored the only winning goal for Manchester United in the 2009 title race, curling a spectacular effort against Aston Villa. He played 36 games for the club and scored five goals before moving to Italy.

Giuseppe Rossi's time at Manchester United was short-lived, with the player making just 14 appearances and scoring no goals. However, he had a much more successful career in Spain, scoring numerous goals for Villarreal.

Rodrigo Possebon made only eight appearances for Manchester United and represented Italy under-20s. The player's time at the club was largely unsuccessful at the first-team level.

Massimo Taibi had the most controversial entry on the list, making his debut in 1999 with a disastrous display against Southampton. Despite starting his career on a high, Taibi was never afforded more opportunities at Manchester United and left the club later that season.
