Hertha Berlin defender Jordan Torunarigha dreams of Manchester United
Torunarigha has made four appearances this season for Hertha.
Hertha Berlin defender Jordan Torunarigha has revealed that Manchester United is his dream club and he would love to play at Old Trafford one day.
The 19-year-old has made four appearances for the first team since his debut earlier this season and is already being touted as one of the best youth prospects in Germany with his current showing. He has represented Germany in the U16, U18, U19 and U20 segments thus far and is aiming for a place in the senior team in the days to come.
The defender is known for his versatility and despite being deployed as a left-back, can operate on the right side of defence as well.
When asked if he has a dream team other than Hertha, Torunarigha told Bild: "Manchester United, it has always been my dream to play at Old Trafford." Followed by, "Maybe somehow with Hertha!"
The youngster made his first start earlier this month as Hertha lost 1-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach, with the German taking plaudits for his performance. He has made three more substitute appearances and aims to break into the first team on a regular basis next season.
Meanwhile, United defender Matteo Darmian is not too worried about the low turnaround time afforded to the Red Devils following a gruelling 0-0 draw with Manchester City in midweek. United host relegation battlers Swansea City this weekend, only 62 hours after the derby.
The Red Devils have a host of injuries to worry about, with utility player Timothy Fosu-Mensah feared to be out for the season and Marouane Fellaini suspended for the next three league games.
"Yes, we haven't got too much time for recovery and to prepare for the game but, from now until the end of the season, we play every few days, so we have to be ready," Darmian told MUTV. "Everyone is important so we have to be focused, play on Sunday and win."
"It's our objective to finish in the top four. We are there, five games to go, we have to win and put pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool," he said.
