Man United must move on

Matteo Darmian could have been forgiven for thinking "oh, not again" as Manchester United were torn apart in the first 20 minutes by Arsenal, who eventually won 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. It had been a while, but the full-back won't have forgotten the last time he came face-to-face with Alexis Sanchez.

Back in February 2011 Sanchez was the Udinese star and coveted by every major club in Europe, including both Manchester teams. Darmian was a 21-year-old right-back on loan at Palermo from AC Milan.

The defender had made just one previous start in Serie A for Palermo but was injured after 33 minutes.
