I thought he was great today. Defensively he looked as good as he did at the start of the season and he seems to have really improved his attacking play.

Was his best game of the season for me. Won loads of tackles, supported the attack really well and put some great crosses in. That was back to his early season form.

Getting back into that form he showed at the start of the season. He's definitely a good player and one I have time for, it's no coincidence he is one of Italy's very best performers whenever they play too.

Back to his early season form! I've been critical of him lately but if it wasn't for De Gea's heroics throughout, he'd have been my MOTM tonight.

He was very good, especially first half. Similar performance to when he first stated in that nobody could beat him 1 on 1.

Back to his early season form. Looking really solid lately and better and mode confident on the ball. Baffles me why some people think Mourinho won't like him, he's basically the same type of player as Azpilicueta who Mourinho always played.

We can't stop here. This is bat country.
Having two competent full-backs has really transformed our game.

No surprise we played well early in the season with him and Shaw.

Then he went off form and we had a bit of a cluster feck at LB with no one doing anything of note.

Now we've got CBJ delivering the goods and Darmian on form, the whole dynamic of the side changes.

Had a very good game, but am I being harsh in thinking he should have done better for Costa's goal? He's more interested in moving to the right, when he should be filling in the centre with Blind. Also, Schneiderlin's positioning was terrible.

Credit where credit is due. His best game in a United shirt. Was very impressed. Would've been MoTM if it wasn't for DDG.

Delighted that he's regained his form. Was very good on Tuesday and especially today. Offers much more in attack as well even compared to his early season form. Good to see.

Good game. Needs to stay on the right. No more moving him around. Needs to keep building momentum.

Put a great ball across goal that really needed more bodies thrown at it. Looks very strong in one on ones as he was earlier in the season. When on form, he never seems to lose one.

He's starting to play like how he did earlier in the season which is good to see.

Agreed. In fact, it should be the case for the entire back four as long as we avoid injuries.

There has been far too much chopping and changing, we need a settled defence.

Played well. I'm sure the dip in form was just him adjusting to the league.

It's almost as if he just hit a patch of poor form and that, combined with being asked to play on the opposite side, lead to him struggling.

Good to see him back to his best, though, hopefully he can maintain this level of performance.

Definitely. It's weird that Darmian was the one budged around to accommodate Young as an emergency full back. Young has played most of his career as a left winger, and has put in a few decent shifts at LB before, but this season, Darmian was pushed to LB to accommodate Young at RB. It's backwards. Then you've got two players out of position rather than just one. Darmian's performances at LB were ropey at best.

Ill be happy if he just stays on as RB now. Even if we get injuries, he should not be pushed to LB cos "hes versatile". Just let him settle as RB and have a good run there.

Best game he's had for us I think. Confident on the ball and actually pretty good defensively, though in fairness Oscar is so useless and pathetic it's amazing Chelsea fans resist the urge to run on the pitch and slap him...but still a lot more encouraging.

Something about his face is getting more and more unacceptable looking with each passinng week. It's like he's got a disease that's slowly turning him into a hillbilly.

I noticed he looked a bit pale today too, but passed it off as down to the weather. :lol:

Looks like he's had the life sucked out of him today. He's been absolutely shocking.
