Hoping that someones career goes down the toilet for having the audacity to want to leave United after having a very difficult year is quite an impressive amount of bitterness. Transfer windows really do seem to bring out the deranged lunatic in people. It's on the same level as Liverpool fans burning Suarez shirts.
That would make sense if De Gea was asked to do the same or may be they want to sell Di Maria but still plan to retain De Gea.
Yeah, it's just business at the end of the day.
I don't think most people who wish death and doom on him are serious, be it said. It's just how Internet fans express themselves. They could do worse than to learn some manners, though, even if they aren't actually psychos or halfwits.
That said, he's clearly a cnut. And we're clearly gimps for buying the cnut. And so forth.
What would, at this stage, be genuinely hilarious is if we end up keeping him.
I said the same thing earlier in the thread.
It's ridiculous how downright childish some of our supporters are.
Not only are personal insults stupid but most of you don't have a clue what's going on with Di Maria. All fecking conjecture.
Yeah. I still want to give di Maria the benefit of doubt. He might want to leave United, but I'm not sure going AWOL is his 'way' of expressing it. He's never been a primadona or trouble maker, on and off the pitch.
What happens if this carries on all summer and we end up keeping him?
I was just thinking this myself LOL
Blanc has been saying it's nearly done all week, but?
PSG are trying to sign a player who has disappeared haha
I've defended him a lot before...but the 'man' is a complete donkey. A spineless person who will rather run off to PSG where he has zero difficulties in winning titles and only has to perform a couple of times a year in the CL. Worst signing I can remember for this club...the rest at least tried
Kinda hope we get PSG in the champions league this year so our fans can give him a proper reception

Hello Mr. Di Maria. Welcome to the neighbourhood.
The face on Giggs and LVG say it all
I don't care what's going on right now. What I do care about is us paying a shitload of money on him, paying him huge wages only for him to leave after one tough year. He either never wanted to come here in the first place and just pushed for it due to the fall-out in Madrid and Mendes wanting his or he wanted to come here but found it to be too difficult to be the focal point of a great club while also having to deal with van Gaal. Other than that, there is no rational explanation for what's happening right now and both options don't make him look good in my eyes.
I am usually very supportive of footballers who want to leave and play elsewhere. I understand they have families and other issues which makes them unsettled in certain countries.
In this case I genuinely believe Di Maria and his family were affected by the robbery. If not then his wife and family in general simply aren't settled. If I put myself in his shoes as a neutral I would do what's best for my family and myself.
I believe we are at least on par with PSG as a football club. Paris isn't another world compared to Manchester, they still have shit weather alot etc.
WhAt ever his reasons for wanting to leave, I accept. As long as we get a decent fee which is anything over 40 million gbp I am happy.

I don't know about that part... but the rest of the post I agree with. I think he just hasn't settled at United.
Hopefully, hostility from the fans, and a few of our players finding the perfect excuse to start a confrontation in the tunnel before one of them shouts at him: "I'll see you out there, you cnut!"
Sounds like a job for the one and only dark sith lord Juan Mata
ehh, I think you guys are reacting bit too harsh (Internet, I know..) He didn't say anything bad about you lot or complained in media. He didn't settle into the team and the philosophy. He wants regular football, so he wants to move. Many other players do a lot worse. I read Rojo made some bad noise joining United, Mascherano did same before joining Barca, Ibra vilified the manager and the club when leaving Barca. Compared to these ADM has been quiet. He just wants to move, most player want to do that when he's not playing regular football.
I think most of us look at it with some hindsight now and suspect his lack of form was partly due to whatever difficulties he was facing but also partly due to a complete lack of effort on his part. After the Arsenal match where he was sent off it seems like he just kind of gave up, decided he wanted out and gave about 20% for the rest of the season. We expect a bit more than that from our players, I think every supporter does.
Why would LVG tell ADM to stay away? His perceived AWOL will play to PSG's favor and contribute only to lower the price.
Lets say that we've done a big mistake in throwing money at a player who never wanted to come to United in the first place. Now Real are happy as they got their 60m. PSG will be happy because they will get their player at a much realistic price and we end up looking like idiots with a 15m loss

Does anyone really believe that this guy wouldn't play well for us if we played him as a left winger still instead of Young? I get we maybe weren't his first choice, but im 100% certain the club could have convinced him to stay for at least one more season, and LVGs reluctance to play him in a position like attacking left or right wing alongside Rooney infuriates me. I know he was out of form, but LVG was quoted saying Di Maria is one of the best wingers in the world before we signed him. How has it come to be that a club of Uniteds stature is willing to let a player of this quality go for a £15mill loss after just one season despite knowing that at his best he is without doubt one of the best players in the world. I just don't get it. He's unhappy, yet earning £200k a bloody week im sure he isn't crying when he gets home every day. Obviously i lay alot of the blame at Di Maria for not growing a pair but even still an arm around the shoulder from LVG and abit of effort from the players to help settle him in would go along way im sure.

Looks like one of the many times he reacted badly to a tackle or got a knock
I agree but with the money he earns he could have around the clock security to eliminate that happening again , but as you say family comes first and all that.
Why? Because it suits your narrative?
PSG at least on par with us, have a fecking word with yourself will ya.
I have absolutely no qualms about a player wanting to play at PSG rather than at United, it's up to him and his family isn't it, no big deal.
There could be many reasons, the burglary, the weather, his wife couldn't settle, issues with the manager, issues with his team-mates etc etc.
But one thing we need to make very very clear, PSG are a small club playing in a second rate league relatively speaking when compared to us.

PSG are paying practically the same price in Euros this summer as we paid last Summer. We paid about €73m for him and they're paying around €65m (which works out at around £5m loss, which given that he's a year older is great business).
We can't complain about losing out on around £10m because of the weakness of the Euro after potentially benefitting from it to the tune of around £20m (Depay, Schweinsteiger, Darmian & possibly Pedro).
I think it's been pretty obvious from the beginning that LVG is merely deflecting the questions/speculating with his "I don't know where he is" comments.
It's a bit classless, though, because it leads to this belief that ADM has gone AWOL, which in turns smears his name and leads to this aggression from the United supporters. If the tweet is correct, LVG hasn't handled this fairly.
Hang on a minute.
Falcao, scored 4 goals in what amounts to about half a season.
He took huge wages and was down-right terrible. Abysmal. Some have said that he was the worst striker at MUFC in many years.
A wage thief if I ever saw one.
He got a standing ovation.
Di Maria put in decent performances (not great, but decent), making many assists and scored goals. And you are complaining about Di Maria?
I sense that if Di Maria was genuinely poor (like Falcao), that fans would be wishing him good luck at PSG, but because they know that Di Maria is one of the best, they are getting bitter.
For those who are bitter, understand this:
Di Maria moved from a very hot country to Manchester. This would've been tough.
He also came to the most competitive league in the World - something which even LVG has alluded to.
Di Maria's style of play just didnt work in England. His diving saw him get sent off.
He expected to be running the show and instead he was sat on the bench.
Furthermore, as an attacker, he is supplying RVP and Falcao, who can't score.
Conversely at PSG
the weather is warmer.
he'd get 1st team football.
he'd be supplying Ibrahimovic who is one of the best strikers on the planet.
he'd most likely win the league.
PSG will play lower league team int he Cup and easily beat them.
I said this earlier in this thread: if I were his agent and doing my job, I'd be advising him to get out of MUFC, even if it means a cut in wages.
Not to mention his house was a subject of burglary by people in the city where he's supposed to receive support and love..
I actually said WE are at least on par with them. Meaning at the very worst we are the same as them as far as attraction to play for imo.
They aren't even in the same league as us.
I just don't understand why he took the cowards way out by not turning up for the pre season tour.
Points to a very weak individual indeed. Would rather hide away than face his problems.
Okay, if he wanted to move for his familys "safety" then that's okay with me... just not the way he approached it.
A coward, if ever i saw one.
Sod the weather etc... just a coward.
Because I find it incredibly hard to believe we couldn't just pick up a phone and ask di Maria where he was.
For many on here, finding out his location seems to be a harder task than the journey to Mordor.
I don't think di Maria gives a toss about our history. To many players, especially those from South America, it's about playing football.
Currently, PSG have a brighter present; we're working our way towards something (we did just finish 7th and 4th).
Who cares where he's been or what LVG said. The fact remains that he didn't show up on the tour as was agreed by all parties. He's contractually obliged to do so, yet doesn't turn up. Short of a family illness or such - he has no excuses for not getting his arse on a plane and honouring his contract. No excuses need to be made for him - he didn't want to stay and fight for his place and that's fine. Let us get as much money back as possible and move on.
Find it interesting that we're still promoting his jersey.
*Millwall would title challengers in the French League, finishing 1st in a easy league isn't the same as finishing 4th in one of the hardest leagues in the World.
*Possibly not Millwall but you get the point.
