I'm not too sure why people are pushing for Di Maria to be sold. Yes he's not been as good as we all hoped but it's his first season.

The lad has 9 assists whilst playing terrible and is only second to Fabregas who's assists have dried up recently. He's been sidelined for a while on top of this and is ahead of Ozil, Cazorla, Hazard, Oscar and Coutinho.

If he is played wide left in a 433 he will be devastating in my opinion and will assist a lot of goals. I think next season he will be back to his best.

If we could get Bale to play wide right it would be a dream!

Di Maria has had a poor season, but just have a look at these stats:

Top United Assist Makers in an EPL season:

Beckham - 15
Nani - 14
Beckham - 13
Valencia - 12
Di Maria 9

Just imagine if he is playing well on a consistent basis.

Beckham's record would be out the window.

I really hope he shows his true worth and comes good.

That really put things into perspective for me. Despite not playing well for more than maybe 2 games and being unsettled he is still high on the list. I would imagine he probably has the most assists in the team also.

I was right, Di Maria is the top 'assister' with 9 to his name, joint second is Herrera, Falcao and Rooney with 4. If you want to have a look at the stats they are on ES*N.

Stats, stats, and damn lies. ADM has been pants for much of the season. I'd like to keep him, put an arm around him and see him come good, but let's not use stats to suggest he has been anything other than a disappointment this year.

Stats are BS. The fact is when Di Maria has played he has been a major weakness for us, giving the ball away too often and causing our other players to be dragged out of postion to mop up his errors, thus making them look bad.

I'm all for hoping he improves but please don't even try to put a positive spin on it. Ashley Young has done much more for us the season to warrant the LM role.

AJH, JMB,

I agree that he has been poor this season but if you remember last season we were crying out for anyone in our midfield to assist. A positive spin should be put on his performances and that's what he needs. He is a confidence player. Fellini was blasted last season by the majority of our fans but I am all for backing our players and giving them a proper chance to show their worth.

I'm only making the point that he needs time to settle down and come good.

Stats may not show how his overall performance is but to be second highest in the league and playing 'pants' is still good in my opinion. Ashley has been immense under LVG but we all know come next season the plan will be to use him as a squad player. An in form Di Maria will have us scoring a shed load of goals and I fully believe we will see this.

There are many one season wonder players but di maria is a one season flop player because i know from next season he will be on fire. So this selling him thing is rubbish

Where should DI Marea play.i have seen people suggest on the right/left of a front 3. As CAM. as traditional winger.
The question for me is where. and then is he the best option there.
Would love him to prove doubters wrong though

@Brad76

He needs to play wide left of a 433 I think. A couple people have already mentioned it below but if he was playing well and played against Liverpool in that position, we would have slaughtered them.
