Good news. I do have time for Matteo.

 

[m1y2]

wish him well he was brave with the challenge but I won't miss him at all, wouldn't mind trying someone like Riley/Reid or Varela again, wouldnt also mind if we tried to buy someone in this window

His best game for us since August?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Much better from him.

 

[Rossa]

Much better, but still looks a little slow. I read that he was very fast - like properly. He looks average at best in terms of pace.

 

[ivaldo]

So surprise he's looked better since returning to right back, just seem to have a bit of confidence back.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

His best game for us since August?

Yep.

 

[Mark_GrumpyLion]

Looking great today.

 

[soap]

Really nice inswinger with his left foot. Had been looking forward to seeing that from him after a season of Valencia, the most one footed player on the planet.

 

[Scarecrow]

Making his presence felt tonight, along with CBJ. We've got so much width and space when the fullbacks do their job. There are other factors for it, of course, Stoke too open themselves being one of them.

 

[ivaldo]

He's been brilliant tonight, defensively and going forward, along with BJ he's put in some terrific crosses.

 

[Ballache]

Yes Darmian! Hopefully he's back to his best.

 

[Zoo]

Happy for him. Now keep him at right back.

 

[Raw]

Highly improved today. Keep him at RB instead of shuffling him around CB and LB please.

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

People forget that this his first season at Premier League level and at 26 he has time on his side to develop even more.

 

[caisenma]

I like this guy.

 

[steve zizou]

He even had his customary booking to top up a good performance.

 

[Devil may care]

The most confident game he has had since the start of the season.

 

[stevoc]

Much much better tonight, looked solid defensively. Still not my type of fullback going forward but at least he was putting some effort into getting forward and supporting Lingard.

 

[acnumber9]

He definitely grew into the game and was playing very well second half.

 

[Adisa]

Owned Arnautovic

This and Mata and Co should have burried some of his crosses tonight they were sublime..

 

[Sylar]

Now stop moving him across the defence. Keep him RB (and use varela as backup).

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Once he stopped wetting himself whenever a Stoke player came within 5 yards of him, he went on to actually have a decent game... not amazing or anything, but definitely better then we've seen over recent months.

 

[Escobar]

He was a bit up down yesterday but the positive thing was that he finally showed some attacking intent and did well going forward

 

[Floyd]

Not surprisingly he did a lot better once he got rid of the godawful sideburns.

But he's not rapid is he?

 

[Roux]

I think we can all agree he is much much better at right-back. Solid last night and made some good tackles, back to how he was in the first few games.

He's right footed so that's to be expected. But when he was shite he was less shite on the left than on the right, imo.

 

[Giant Midget]

He's one of the players I really want to do well.

It's signings like these that we should really be making - players that have proved themselves at lower clubs and are ready to take the step up such as Darmian and Schneiderlin. Neymar, Bale, etc. are never going to come to United.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Aye, this blaming his poor performance on playing LB is nonsense, he has performed quite well at LB a few times and put in absolute garbage performances at RB at other times. He has just been inconsistent.

 

[Dante]

When he's a LB, he drifts into the middle and out of position. When he's a RB, he stays on his side of the pitch. It's not rocket science what the solution is for the future.

Once Shaw and Rojo come back, we'll have three LBs in the pecking order ahead of him. If we buy another CB, Blind could play the position as well. Hopefully Darmian never plays there again.

 

[Nighteyes]

Our best player so far. Very good defensively and going forward.

Good to see.

 

[Zoo]

Having a superb game so far. Owning that right flank.

 

[DWelbz19]

Great first half.

 

[Raw]

Glad to see him look back to his best. He's definitely improved recently.

 

[The White Pele]

Excellent first half

 

[van der star]

Looked knackered towards the end. Needs to improve his fitness levels.

 

[Rossa]

A player like Oscar is tailor made for him in truth. A quicker more nimble player would put him off more.

Oscar is pretty useless to be fair.
