Happy with the result, first game was always going to be a little tricky! Delighted for Shaw hopefully he can kick on now also great to see Lindelof and Bailly starting together, both looked comfortable.
Pogba up and running with a controlling performance! I’ve no doubt Fred is going to be a fan favourite looks to have so much to his game and looking forward to seeing more of him.

You'd swear United were well beaten the way lads are going on

Pogba was good alright but I didn’t see much about Fred, I thought he was poor

Sanchez was great in pre season but he was like an amateur footballer tonight. Thats £400k he earned this week! Alexis Sánchez lost possession more times (23) than any other Man Utd player against Leicester. |

Not a bad result for a supposedly weak Utd team. Leicester will take points off the top teams this season

Fair enough, thought he done well! perhaps was a bit too eager early on to impress. Thought his passing was very good and looked good moving with the ball, has that nasty side to his game which I like too.

De Gea pulled off another great save tonight.
The best shot stopper I’ve ever seen. Didn’t have a great World Cup but has been Man u’s best player for a few years now. With Courtois going to RM you’d think he will stay with Man U for the rest of his career. One of the best Fergie’s signings.

You're either back to your over exaggerating ways, or you don't watch much football at all.

Quite happy with that performance. Would have been nice to keep a clean sheet but wont complain too much.
Looked totally different to the boring football from last year. They're at least trying to play football, they're running off the ball and when Leicester attacked in the most part they are defending very well. Even the full backs were getting forward. Thought Fred, Pereira and Pogba worked very well as a midfield three. Fred has a nice bit of bite about his game. All the defenders did well bar Darmian who was poor. Disappointed with Sanchez too. Didn't continue his pre season form unfortunately.

You have to expect that with Moleman! Darmian is a good defender unfortunately you need to offer something going forward as a full back these days and he doesn’t.

Every time a player runs at Darmian, he either gets beaten easily, or he ends up hacking the player down. He is no way whatsoever a good defender. I'd rate Young and Valencia, both converted wingers as far far better defenders than him. If he was a good defender, as ye are saying, he would nailed down to start for Mourinhos United side.

He wouldn’t have 30+ caps for Italy if he couldn’t defend, look he’s not good enough for United and will be third choice RB once Valencia and Dalot get fit even still I expect him to move to a decent Italian side before the window shuts. But yea poorest defensive player you’ve ever seen |

For a club with the aspirations that Utd have that was typically poor. Going to be a Labour of love for Utd fans again this season. They won’t win the neutrals over either.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Your post is just a ball of contradictions. You're trying to make out that he's a decent player based on his caps for Italy, yet at the same time you are saying he's behind Valencia and Dalot. I mean Valencia is obviously not a strong point in this team. Darmian has no ability to deal with a wide player running at him. He is totally ill disciplined, and just resorts to pure lazy defending and fouling. I'm amazed anyone watching him play for United for the past few years would say any different.

Pogba should’ve been MOTM. Shaw was poor second half, despite scoring. The Leicester lad strolls inside of him for their goal, I think confidence is a massive issue with him so maybe the MOTM award will spur him on a little.
United were horrible to watch for long spells last night, sitting way off opposition players, happy to let em have the ball, Rashford was playing like a full back for long periods. There is a lot of potential in that side but under Mourinho no one will ever see it. Gonna be a long season for United fans watching that piss every week

Thought it was hard to watch and Fred was very poor. It'll probably take him awhile to adjust. He looked way off the pace but has very good control and touches. United are too predictable. There's no width as the wide attacking players keep cutting in. Any team defending just needs to pack the middle. Happy with the win all the same.

Well, there you have it, Darmian has apparently never legally stopped an attacking player. Simply incredible that he has managed to become a professional footballer
