Does anyone else thing the situations with Falcao & Di maria will not help us in the future and put off latina players signing for us?
{Ed004's Note - I don't think so. I was watching footage of Di Maria earlier and all his best football came while he was playing out left for us and given the chance to drift inside. If we swapped him for Young in our current system as long as the full back offers support we could see the returning form of Di Maria hopefully.}

Cheers edoo4, i agree he is a better player on the left and would like to see him out there, i just hope we get the chance to see the best of him.

I hope that Di Maria stays, I really do. He is an excellent talent, I hope that he finds his form and moves back to the left hand side again. We may need a right winger though so that Di Maria can move to the left - Bale and Di Maria has to be the goal!

Don't think this will happen, the formula we have now is two defensive minded players on the left, negating the right hand attack of both Spurs and Liverpool, hence townsend getting shafted and sterling only having a sniff at the start of the match. Youngs defensive education has been an absolute master stroke by van gaal, and it's possible that di Maria could add something else to his game by playing on the right, he's shown glimpses of a defensive element and there's no doubting his attacking prowess. Time will tell if he gains anything new, I'm still struggling to see the benefit of phil Jones taking corners, so nothing's guaranteed.
