THE FUSE

Materazzi believes that a move to Manchester would not only benefit United but also the Italian national team by allowing Udogie to refine his traditional wing-back traits. The former Inter defender told Hajper: "Would Destiny Udogie be the right player to succeed Luke Shaw at Manchester United? I think so. Why not! I think he would be better playing on the overlap like Luke Shaw at United than cutting inside because for Italy we already have Riccardo Calafiori, Gianluca Mancini and Alessandro Bastoni. It would be better for Italy to see him playing on the outside rather than the inside."
