Why did I ever join Man Utd?

When Di Maria joined Manchester United, many expected him to replicate what Ozil was doing at Arsenal. But to everyone's surprise, he just did not manage to find his feet. Louis van Gaal would have to take the chunk of the blame as he kept playing the Argentine is different positions.

The Red Devils paid a then-record fee of £59.7 million for the former Real Madrid winger but sold him a year later to PSG for £44 million. The Ligue 1 has suited him well, and he is back to his best and found the form he had at Real Madrid and Benfica.

This season, Di Maria has stepped up his game even more. He, along with Cavani, are trying to fill the void left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The winger has only managed five assists and one goal in the league this season but his contribution has been way more than what his statistics suggest.
