Very impressive. 3 goals and 3 assists in 4 starts. 2nd best statistical performer in the Premier League in 2014/ 2015. Along with Ander, he's one of two United midfielders in the Top 5 statistical performers. From one of the worst to one of the best in one window. So excited. :D
 
Best player in the league for me. I just love the fecker.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a proper no.7. Outstanding work rate for starters but the skill and end product is drool worthy. Well in Angel
 
Seemed nackered in the second half, but was outstanding again.
 
We're going to run out of things to say about him soon. He's just too good. Definitely in the top 5/6 players in the world right now.
 
So if this is his settling in period, I can't wait until he's in full flow.
 
As I said before, if this guy is on form, we have a chance in any game. I actually have faith going up against Chelsea because of him.

I wonder what odds you'll get for this lad winning player of the season?

I'd imagine he's one of the favourites for it right now alongside Costa and Fabregas. They've looked like the standout candidates so far.
 
He's a delight to watch play. He's been one of my favourite players for a while now, and I was over the moon (and incredibly surprised) when we signed him this summer. Excellent.
 
His crossing is a thing of beauty.

Also, he really has perfected the mis-hit shot assist.
 
That mishit shot/cross is dangerous! I'm for him trying those 3 - 4 times a game.
 
I'm starting to get that feeling again that one of our players is just too good. Di Maria is producing moments of class that justify the money we spent on him. He's ridiculously productive and talented on the ball. With him in our team we should be competing at the top end of the table. He drives a team on with his own performances. Now if he could just get more accuracy on those corners he takes.
 
The only criticism of him today was he over hit quite a few of his crosses today. But other than that he was fantastic as always.
 
For someone so amazing at crosses, his corners have been terrible, like Nani-not-passing-the-first-man standard. I guess he has to be bad at one thing.

He's the player we would all have loved Nani to become and even more so.

I remember there being a point (think it was 2010/11) when the thought of Di Maria being better than Nani was outrageous. Nani was one of, if not the, best winger in the world.

How things have changed.

I said that in the match thread! In fact I am convinced that there must be some sort of curse on the corner flags at OT, because it seems that not even the world class players can take a corner!!

The delivery is just way too overpowered from him, if he keeps up the same trajectories with less power, they'll be ace
 
He is a fecking menace, haven't felt that way about anyone in our side besides Rooney or RVP in some time - maybe Januzaj at times last year. Looks like he is fully capable of being The Man (unlike, say, Ozil)

I still can't get used to him playing for us, he's just on another level :lol:

It's brilliant having someone like him in the team who just gets you on the edge of your seat every time he gets the ball. It's something Ronaldo was superb at when he was at his best. He just makes shit happen.

RVP takes decent corners to be fair, as does Rooney a lot of the time... no idea why RVP didn't have a bang at one at some point.
 
When you think of him and our other purchases and compare them to liverpools....you have to almost pity them.
 
So....was his assist a cross, or a shot?

How have we not scored from one of his crosses yet? They're a thing of beauty.

Often times it seems like the receiving player wasn't really ready for it. Talk about di Maria being a class ahead of everyone else right now.
 
How many players are at a higher level than him at this moment? I can't imagine us winning or creating much offensively with him gone.
