I believe he is much better than out 1st choice RB last season.
Hence why we are keeping valencia. If we wanted darmian to understand more how the clinic work we could have kept rafael instead
Yeah but obviously a more gifted player will be cut more slack. Who would you give more chances to Paulo Maldini or Paul Koncheskey? There comes a point when you have to decide if a player is worth it.
Ok, and you have every right to believe whatever you want, fortunately, the manager doesn't share the same view and dont blame him.
Ah. So we want Darmian to understand how to fire in a cross at the 1st defender and how to be out of position all the time.
I don't think he is a major wage liability, I think he has shown a high ceiling, and I think our other choice in that position is, well, literally all over the place. So (IMO) he is worth it.
Anyway, as I said, he's going, like with Nani and RvP, I'm resigned.
Apparently he is part of a deal for Gaitan - which basically makes it a nothing story (as is any story with Gaitan).
How about a loan move to determine his future?
To play for LvG you need to tick few/some boxes,how it looks only boxes he ticks are those liked by the fans,maybe he cant control his inner fire i dont know.
He kept the crock on the bench this season
feck this shit. Not going on tour, way to kill my muppet hour 
Oh well, it was coming and as much as I want him to stay, it's understandable. Will miss this guy like crazy.

Na Rafael at the traveling squad apparently?
Rafa
I'd like to say I'd miss him but while he's been a great servant for the club, he's only given us one full season. His constant injuries have been a bit annoying and it's probably the right decision as we won't ever be able to rely on him. I'm more than happy to see Darmian take his place and wouldn't mind seeing Rafael move on.
Personally don't want him to leave! One of my favorite United players, injuries have been very unkind to him.
Quite sad that it's now the end of the road here for him. I think him and Valdes staying behind means they must be pretty close to going and possibly even have moves agreed.
Hope it works out for him.

Not really that bothered. Quality in the 2012/13 season mind, but persistent injuries will derail what could have been a very good defender.
I still think it would be a mistake to let him go. He's a much better fullback than Valencia.
Well this surely puts it to bed that he's 100% definitely off.
its not his injuries but poor man-management that he suffered from the last two seasons here, but most here don't want to hear anything negative about Van Gaal which doesn't fit their narrative.
And Rafael is in good company like Rivaldo, Riquelme, to whom Van Gaal took an irrational dislike (of course it will be justified by the like of the propaganda puppies like NL Max)
Anyways, I am glad we have gone for someone comparable like Darmian instead of inferior replacements like Clyne

Yep. It's the right time and for the best in my opinion though a bit of a shame as I think he loved playing for the club.
Talk of a move to Rome. I'd like to see him get a proper move to a competitive club and show everybody just how good a player he can be. His fitness issues have blighted his career, and we just can't carry players like that anymore.
All the best to him going forward.

Van Gaal's only been here one season.
Pretty gutted really, especially as he clearly doesn't want to leave. I just hope he moves too a good club like Roma or Milan Etc.
I'll be sad. Love the little guy.
Don't leave Rafa!
