Matteo Darmian enjoys scenic bike ride with his wife Francesca Cormanni after tying the knot in Italy

Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian appears to be fully enjoying married life after recently tying the knot with his long-term girlfriend Francesca Cormanni.

Darmian and Cormanni exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony in Italy earlier this month, with Morgan Schneiderlin and Alessio Cerci among the high-profile guests.

The pair, who have been together since they were teenagers, immediately jetted off on a honeymoon abroad before Darmian is due to return for pre-season training.

The Italian full-back has struggled to cement a place in the first-team under Jose Mourinho and speculation continues to surround his Old Trafford future, with Inter Milan and Juventus both linked with the defender. 

Darmian is expected to be part of the United squad that takes part in the tour of the States. 

The Red Devils will face La Galaxy and Real Salt Lake in friendlies before taking on cross-city rivals Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona in their remaining games.
