This is true, but that's the tactical instructions he has. It doesn't mean he has no offensive abilities. He played wingback in a 3-5-2 (on both sides as well) for Torino.
Given that this is pretty obvious, I don´t get such mastubatory praise for a Manchester United right back.
Amazing. He's got some bollocks to be saying that to Big Micah. He looks anything but soft.
Micah's big but he's not a Kompany or a Vidic. He's never really been the hardman.
Perhaps not, but he looks like a monster physically. I wouldn't fancy giving him any jibes.
Darmian seems a little cocky though, which I like.
The fact he's new to the league, is extremely good positionally, solidifies the back line, tackles brilliantly and still manages to provide a decent option further forward (that will no doubt improve the more he plays) isn't worthy of praise? Strange.
He's a gentle giant it seems
Excellent fullback, United has struck gold with him.
Thank god we didn't buy clyne
Say it brother. Darmian's class. Makes you laugh at all the stuff that was said about Valencia being able to be first choice.
He's looking like one of the best in the league I reckon he could make the team of the season if he keeps this up. He's solid and consistent what's not to like?
To be fair Clyne was just as impressive against Stoke as Darmian has been for us.
Another solid performance though. We are much more secure with him there than Valencia. Wish we had kept Rafael as back-up though. He would be good to inject when we need some offensive threat. Instead Valencia doesn't really offer us anything at all.
His shirt number.
Like someone else said, he's probably going to be the best right back in the league. Superb defensively and his stamina is amazing
I don't think he's made a mistake of any note yet. Well on the way to becoming my favourite player.
He's been brilliant so far, arguably our best player. Why are people complaining he's not going forward enough? He's settling in to the team, it will take time, but id far rather a solid defender who doesn't go forward than a rubbish defender who is always forward.
I also like that Darmian knows when a situation warrants a foul. Amavi got the ball past him once or twice in dangerous positions and he made sure the man didn't get past too. Not many players seem to do that now.

The defending on the corner was risky. Referees will probably be watching for that now. Since he didn't get caught up on it though I guess it isn't a 'mistake'
That happens in every match. It was weird that Darmian was highlighted by the commentators.
He's amazing, I love him already.
Not sure an arm around the opponent's neck happens every match. It looked worse than what you usually see. Smalling does it too but doesn't grab around the face.
Maybe I'm just desensitised by all the porn I watch.
Interviewer: 'Should you have had that penalty?'
Richards: If I was a defender and if that was given against me, I would be disappointed. I have done that a couple of times myself, so yeah, you win some you lose some.

If that's a true quote, then it's really mature and honest of him... He could very easily have made a great deal of this and said it cost us a point blah blah... What the commentators say is also right... There needs to be consistency in this rule.. Either it's a penalty every time or it's never a penalty
He already seems like a experienced campianer,he looks a perfect fit to us and we are luck to get him.
He tackles everything doesnt he? I lost track of the number of times he just won the ball off players.
He reminds me of Chelseas LB, Azpi. I dont fancy many players to go past him on a one and one situation. He defends super tight, lets see how he is like with Hazard.
Bargain of the summer. Defensively a beast and loving that he has some tricks up his sleeve. Also when he does get forward, he isnt too bad. His crosses create some danger at times, i hope he can offer a tad more in future. But for now, does his job brilliantly with Smalling on that right defensive side.
Such a natural.Played a more disciplined role and played it perfectly.

He's brilliant. Absolutely love what he does. A defender who defends.
Very good start, typical italian defender who doesn't take risks. Rare to see a fullback who is better at defending rather than going forward, in shaw and darmian I think we have two though. Mata did leave him exposed quite a bit last night but he coped well and so far looks like a bargain.
Darmian has shown in a couple of games not all players need time adapting to different leagues, clubs and countries. Fantastic find.
Love everything about Darmian already. He's had a really solid start and can only get better.
Love to watch his defending. Now if he adds a bit more in attack...
Quickly becoming one of my favourite players. Amazing to think he was at Torino and hardly anyone knew much about him a few months ago. Goes to show that there are quality players out there for decent fee's. Don't need to spend crazy money all the time.
Fair play to Richards.
Looking forward to Sterling/Hazard/Bolasie vs Darmian. He has been very solid the last 2 games, promising performances.
Does he has dreams of Juventus? Or even worse Barca/Real?
Yes, who hasnt.
