di maria is the worst 60 million ever spent.
Worldclass last year? He was never worldclass. He had an excellent game in the champions league final which made him 'worldclass'. He scores six goals a season and is a headless chicken. United fans need to forget this 's not himself'. He has great qualities but he will never be the player united fans already assume of him

I said at the time, defenders in Spain were more bothered about Ronaldo, Bale & Benzema so it freed him up to look good - it happens a lot and we fell for the hype and illusion.
A little bit similar to Sterling this season - but a kid is playing 10 times better than our so called world beater.
I do like how ADM looks to run with the ball and he is the only one that injects pace, but he can't pass it 5 yards and he is a massive wimp. We need more energy around him to get the best out of him, but I think he doesn't fancy it.

maybe if he played on the wing where he would be most affective we might see the di maria that got voted the best Argentinian player last season.
he is wasted in the centre of midfield

There is no doubting that he is a classy player but he has been misused. Upfront, central midfield, anywhere but as a wide forward where he can run at people, take on the full backs and get balls into the box or cut inside and go it alone. There is no doubting that he is one of the best wingers in the world, but he isn't being played as one. He also doesn't have the movement around him that draws defenders away from him like he did at Madrid. We don't have a Ronaldo and a Bale. We need another winger in summer that's class so defenders take one eye off of Di Maria as there are more pacey threats from all over the pitch.

I said last season di Maria was vastly overrated & I wanted reus & was shot down in flames.He doesn't want to be here too lightweight.I hope he proves me wrong but highly unlikely.Would just like to congratulate my lads and all the boys man utd u11's for winning the Anglo German tournament on Saturday at brentford

I do thik LVG played him out wide a few games and he was useless.
I can't blame LVG for trying certain things, the problem is the mindset and that doesn't change in a 60+ year old like him.

The beast
United lack goals all across the team. RVP is finished and rooney is woeful. He has been since 2010. People are begging him to play striker but he is probably content with midfield because he knows he well past it and it guards him from criticism and his huge wages. He doesn't have real pace, his touch is poor and he isn't a finisher. You can argue he wasn't getting the chances in a united shirt but in an England shirt in the summer when he was getting sitters he wasn't finishing.
United need for falcoa to have a miracle change in form and selection and he looks a goner .
vast amounts were spent but united have no defence in place, a decent midfield when herreras in(and his future looks uncertain)and a non existent forward line. And let's not forget de gea the best player with Madrid sniffing. Major problems looking past van gal

Beast, so now you are a psycho analyst as well now? :)
