#1 Matteo Darmian
Before criticising the 29-year old Italian, we should applaud the professionalism showed by him. Even after not playing regularly and almost being sold in the last window, Darmian has done well to honour his contract.
After joining United in 2015-16, fans were very optimistic about his qualities and versatility. He made 28 appearances in the Premier League that season, scoring only a solitary goal, and providing no assist.
His lack of contribution at the other end of the pitch has restricted his game-time, as he has made only 58 appearances. Being a full-back, the Premier League demands quality crossing, and this is a flaw in his game.
This season, he has made only 4 appearances, providing nothing offensively. Defensively he is solid, the intrinsic characteristic of an Italian defender, but he still needs to develop his distribution of the ball to become a solid right-back.
