Probably the first ever big signing we've might make that actually compliments the United style of football down to a tee.. edge of your seat type of player, bags of pace, work ethic and genuinely world class, i.e. not a bottler.
Angel Di Maria | £59.7M fee agreed I Maybe tomorrow...or the day after...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

I can't say I agree with that sentiment, since I wrote on here a few days ago that I was hoping that Di Maria was our number one priority. Mainly because he has so much of what our offensive play is missing, and because he gives us another dimension of tactical versatility. I can certainly see where those who would have wanted a Vidal ahead of him are coming from though.
But yeah, if someone thinks he's not a good player I can't believe they've watched him much at all. I don't watch too much La Liga, but he was magnificent for Real Madrid in most of the plus minus ten matches I watched them last season. A proper driving force, along with Modric.
When was this? I don't recall Di Maria ever playing against Spurs while at Benfica.
We've been waiting longer for a proper midfield. Still waiting, in fact.This will be an incredibly buy if it happens, we've waited 5 years a proper #7.
Now if we can get a good midfielder it would have been a very good summer, especially with some of the deadwood leaving.
Also looks like at least on of Welbeck or Hernandez is off which should raise 15-20m.

Ronaldo and Messi too I bet. Woody is on muppetfumes.
Woodward and Florentino should duel. There can only be one muppetking
That's a very good point, actually. He'll never be as revolutionary as Valencia. And by revolutionary I mean turning in circles if the opportunity to use the stronger foot is not available.
I think with Di Maria and even a De Jong we should still compete with everyone fit......
To be fair, we've had little luck with Argies. Hienze and Tevez were cnuts and Veron failed to live up to expectations (and they invaded the Falklands).
You would think his signing would make a 4-3-3 the best selection to get the best out of the players. You'd definitely need a De Jong type in there to tighten things up. Would be exciting to watch though.
It'll be Januzaj off of the bench, no need to rush him now.
Can Di Maria and Rojo convince Messi to join us?
Yep. The 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 would work with the players we have.
So MANY left footed players now! Cancels out Valencia finally.
The bitterness. Their owner should appreciate him more and stop signing players he didn't need.They are definitely getting a bit rude now:
Don't wanna be a major buzzkill but £60m is a lot of money for Di Maria. Some may say too much money. Then again, our squad's full of shite and he's genuinely world class, something we're lacking in.
Januzaj didn't get the number 11 to sit on the bench. Two out of Mata, Rooney and RVP will be benched. Pace, power and energy is the LVG blueprint, he'll be ruthless.
I think he mean's against Liverpool in the Europa league. I remember he tore Liverpool apart. I said to my friend in the pub we should sign him there and then. Couple weeks later he moved to Real.
£50m - £60m is about the going rate for one of the worlds best players right now, I'd say.
One of RVP, Di Maria, Mata, and Rooney have to be dropped because Mata, RVP, and Rooney aren't better than Adnan on the wing. Di Maria starting is a given.
We have broken our transfer twice in 8 months. Who would have thought that in December?
The only green and gold fans care about these days is handing it over willingly for decent players!
Mate we are loaded #yolo
DM - HERRERA
DI MARIA - MATA - JANUZAJ
ROONEY

Thats how I would like us to play. I know it's dropping RVP, but it fits our best players bar him, and all in positions they like
60-70m euros, which is 48-56m pounds.
Euros, not ££££
fecking hell, he's gonna light up OT. A true number 7.
He will! He's the type of player that will get the crowd to their feet when he is accelerating with the ball
Mata on the left, Rooney behind RVP.
2009: “Since I was 13 or 14 years old, I’ve been telling my mother and my father that my dream is to play some day for Manchester United," he said in the News of the World. “And I won’t stop till I get it. “When I watch [Wayne] Rooney and all of them on TV, I can’t wait to play there at Old Trafford. “When I was a little boy I watched Arsenal games as well, but Manchester United always dazzled me most.”

Very good.That's exactly how I would want us to play too. And also, I'm pretty sure that one of our attacking players will be injured at any given time during the season.

On his own he can singlehandly start a shift from ending up like Liverpool of the last 20 years or making us firm top 4 fave's once more.
@Pexbo you joined the wrong muppet brigade bro.
