United did not make an expensive mistake when they broke the British
transfer record to sign him from Real Madrid for 59.7 million pounds in
the summer.
United smashed the British transfer record to bring
the Argentina international to Old Trafford, but he has struggled to
match his early impact after suffering a hamstring problem towards the
end of last year.
told United Uncovered: "Angel was a fantastic signing.
"Real
Madrid have other top players like Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo,
but he was the one who stood out for me in that team last season.
"When you add quality to a squad that already has quality it can only help us.
"We
saw in the first couple of days in training just how good a player
Angel is and what we can expect from him. He was definitely a great
signing for us."
Michael Carrick, who sits at the base of that diamond, likened Di
Maria to Ryan Giggs, saying: "There are players who have got tricks and
can drop the shoulder to go past players, but he is so direct in his
play.
"It is almost like Giggsy used to be in many ways. When he
picks that ball up, he can carry it and change direction pretty quickly.
It is very tough to defend against.''
