This forum likes to paint him as a bomb scare but he's always been a competent defender. I felt good about him coming on for Valencia who looked a bit ropey at times.
He's not terrible and does the basic well, he's just of average quality and is occasionally let down by a lack of physical presence.

Hope he is sold in the summer as he will be much better off back in italy

HELLO
A Valencia right side is dead enough. Darmian however - the wing is buried, exhumed, buried again, unearthed, cremated, then scattered at sea.

He overlapped but never once got the ball. Didn't exactly cover himself in glory for the goal though. Best for everyone that he goes.

How is this guy playing here ? He's the epitome of our standard post SAF.

He doesn’t want to to be here and like reflecting that his performances. Why is he starting over Shaw who gave 100% when he came on.

Has started 4 league games this season but we have only won one of them, absolutely pointless player.

Have said it a few times now, i hope thats the last time i see this muppet wearing a United shirt.

Would have been better not playing him at all, and instead keeping tuanzebe or tfm instead to take his minutes (plus more). Though I know that would never happen

Strangely I think the reason he's here this season is cos he had that little spell last season- I'm sure he played well as part of a three man central defence. He looks more comfy sitting than getting out wide to provide any end product ...

Be surprised if we see him play for United again. Best for all if he moves on in the summer. Cheers Lvg, another gem you left us with you horny maniac.

I can not bear the thought of watching this fraud and Mata on our right side ever again. And feck off Mourinho for playing this pointless spineless git over Shaw. Can someone enlighten me how can a sane man choose Darmian to play instead of Shaw?

He’s the worst player I’ve seen in my whole life as a united fan.

The way he jogs around, plays passes with the least weight possible, or passes and just stands still with no effort to push forward just absolutely infuriates me.

He's absolutely the worst.

People will bring up Bebe or Dong or even Djemba Djemba but all of those barely played. Darmian has been here 3 years and clocked up over 80 games for Utd.

It's absurd how long he's managed to eke out a Utd career

At least with Bebe you knew he was never really good enough, but he always gave his best.

Darmian just plays at 70%, before the goal he could have shut the winger down outside the box and had an easier attempt at tackling him. Instead he waited until he got inside the box and then had him on toast.

He’s just way too casual for my liking, I can’t believe Mourinho has never called him out publically like everybody else.

He was alright in the first half. I just don't understand why we're playing him, he's useless.

It's always worth remembering that Bebe had a better goals to game ratio playing for United then Radamel Falcao....

Actually, with 2 goals in 7 games, he's probably got a better goals to game ratios then a lot of united players...

Don't see that at all to be honest. Though I could understand if he's not 100% motivated right now given his role.

I think he tries his best but he's just not good enough - at least in this league.

You watch Darmian and honestly think he tries his hardest? I can't believe that.

The guy jogs around the pitch, I don't think I have ever seen him sprint full speed before.

Can't imagine Pogba sprinting either. Our team isn't known for it.

But yeah, I do think he's trying his best - he's just not a good defender (beyond the basics).

Yeah he was decent today in all fairness. Still it will be his last game for us and rightly so -average, nothing player.

He'll find himself on the bench and will then find his way on the pitch after an injury and subsequent defensive re-shuffle. I'm not convinced we'll ever be rid of him.

This thread was longer than I expected. I've hardly seen him perform anything in three seasons now. Decent at defending, but do not expect him to participate with anything forward. Cause who would want a back contributing forward on the field. Unheard of!
