Solid enough performance.
Good performance, I was very impressed with what I saw on the tour. If I was a betting man I'd say he'll be in the Pfa team of the season.
Got some praising in passing from Martin Samuel too..
Seeing as Rafael never won over the English press, it seems that Darmian really did impress..I'm glad.
Does anyone have any news regarding the knock / injury he picked up during the game?
Hopefully he is fit to play against Villa on Friday.

Was just cramp I think.
I went the game and haven't seen the highlights but he was very tidy and got to everything first. Looked very calm and tracked runs, refreshing!
I think we need a young rightback in the same mould as cover..that can stay fit and can cross..lets see if our scouts can hit the jackpot again.
Varela?
Perfect.
Darmain will be our right back for years to come. At the moment I'm struggling to find a weakness to his game. The price tag certainly doesn't justify the talent.
He's not had much top-level European football experience, so Im not sure how how he would handle the step..If the coaching staff thik he can, then yes..if not, a a young gem..maybe in their late teens or early twenties
Was OK. I think there's a lot of room for improvement though. For example, I guess he didn't hit the fullback once with his cross.
I just miss the fear in defenders eyes when Valencia was approaching. I mean the fear of bruises all over their body.

I've noticed that he's quite good at picking out a quick forward pass. Noticed it during pre season as well. There were instances where our players would normally just pass it sideways or back and he found someone further up the pitch releasing the ball very quickly.
That will get instantly coached out of him, dont worry. Too much risk.
If you want someone of your description - young, talented and with plenty of european experience then you have to pay a lot of money like we did for Shaw. Better off trying to develop Varela if he's as good as they say he is. Now is the best time to start bedding him into the first team
Not necessarily European experience as in playing in continental tournaments..I meant playing regularly in their league..you learn more from playing against older players I feel..And not necesarily british...someone much cheaper..thats where our scouts come in..However, Ive got no problem with Varela. hope he makes it.
Aston Villa 0:1 Man Utd
Another quality half defensively.
I was so wrong to be skeptic about him. I admit it with joy. Fecking brilliant signing.
Very good defender. Daft on the corner though.
He's got the dirty Italian defensive arts about him too. Better and better and better. 
Our best player so far. He's excellent.
Gone from being highly sceptical when we signed him to being in love in just 1,5 games. Will no doubt do some errors over the season but he looks extremely solid.
After watching winger breezing past Valencia time and time again, as well as him giving countless freekicks away too, Darmian had been a breath of fresh air. Nothing much goes past him.
Best player on the pitch for United, for me.
The word solid defines this lad.

Nice to see he isn't afraid to stick in and let who ever he's marking know he's there. Every defence needs one or two of them type of lads.
Now this guy can defend. Poor on the corner, but love how aggressive and tight he is in 1v1's.
This guy is amazing. A wonderful defender and very calm presence on the field. I feel so safe with him in the side.
We should import all our defenders from Italy.
He's Gary Neville with pace. There I said it.
Has impressed me again this match! Great signing!
Stuart Pearce saying he's been dissapointing on Talksport.
Guess he'll be the next Cafu in that case.
Hey guys. Do you remember that one time when someone got past Darmian with the ball?
No. Me neither.
No. Me neither.
His did a bit of shirt tugging and the pundits are all over him? Skrtel does it every game he's played in yet no one even talks about it after so many years.
Has definitely steadied a weak spot in the team.
Clueless. Darmian has been amazing so far.
