The club need to cut their losses while they can. I'm sure the likes of PSG would take him for 30 million.

He will come good.. He is suited for a counter attacking system... He will hammer Arsenal next game...
Newcastle next.
I don't care if he cost 60m Januzaj was much better when he came on and it was the right substitution. Hopefully this is a wake up call for hi.
Decision justified.
I think the reason he wont be another Ozil is because he has pace and skills.... which is suited for EPL.. For right now, he is just not on form..... He still has the 2nd most assists in the EPL this season..
It's what happens if you pay the highest wages in the country and don't have a manager like Mourinho controlling everything.
He won the Champions League with the team he probably always dreamed of playing for last season. Not surprising he doesn't look as interested fighting for 3rd place and an FA Cup.
He was an up and down player at Real. We over paid. Get used to it.
He had a completely shit day. Here he's expected to make things happen, at Real he was just a cog in the wheel. He needs to relax and get some patience. He's over doing it.

He's not a play maker he's a guy with a great engine, close control and speed. He will be a great player for us once we are sorted out. But only if he is played left in a midfield 3.
Pace and skills without the brain to guide them are useless and Di Maria plays these days like a brainless player.
Spot on tbh. I think he's feeling the weight of expectation on his shoulders, it's too much for him to play like our best player at the moment. He's a great support player.
He's brilliant at walking about and giving the ball away. World class, in fact.
Doubt he'll be here next Summer.
And it all started off so well

He's a bloody frustrating winger. Just play him in a midfield three please.
Would love to see that.
Blind
Herrera di Maria
Januzaj Rooney Young

Horrible game today. Needs to find form, otherwise keep him away from the starting XI.
I just feel he doesn't like it here...in England. Also, let's face it, he shouldn't have ever been classed as world class anyway.
Hopefully, ADM starts working his socks off after the message Van Gaal gave to him today. You can't ask for anything more crystal clear of a message when ADM was subbed off for Januzaj.

The decision to take him off will only become a big deal if the player or supporters make it such. He may be one of our best players but if he's wasting openings like he did towards the end of the first half then he's just as liable as everybody else to take his seat on the substitutes bench.
Hopefully a lesson learned today and he'll return to the side midweek with the bit between his teeth. Talk of his sale come the summer is just silly.

He's a very weak player, any time an opponent puts some pressure on him he loses the ball so easily.
I'm always surprised by some reactions, Di Maria is fine, he was always an inconsistent and frustrating player. He will be like that for a very long time, unless he follows Robben's path and like him become a consistent player but Robben changed his game and gain a lot of patience.
The thing with Di Maria is that it doesn't matter if he is inconsistent at the end of the season his numbers are almost always high. The important thing is to not build your team for him but despite him, just use him like a satellite player in your system.

Isn't this the main reason we signed him though?
The knee-jerking in here is a bit much. He didn't play well today, tried to do too much. But that doesn't mean that he's not a top player.
Let's give it another season why dont we. This isnt a train smash, he does have resale value and rich suitors.
"I dont thinks he likes it here."
He's very wank do far. Frustrating as he cost a fortune and the lad he more or less replaced is having a great season in Portugal. Was Nani ever quite that bad and frustrating? I don't think so
If we did we are idiots, with Madrid he wasn't one of the main players the system was built for Ronaldo and Bale. Di Maria was supposed to run on the left and allow Ronaldo to drift inside.
And in defense he was important because Bale and Ronaldo don't like to defend, so Ancelotti figured that he could use Di Maria and Modric to support Xabi Alonso in middle depending on who comes back from the two wide players.
Di Maria--Xabi Alonso-Modric--Bale
or
Ronaldo--Di Maria-Xabi Alonso--Modric

I hope he is happy at the club, because we need a player of his ilk to go forward. But if he isn't there is no reason to have a player who doesn't want to play for us. Seems to be under a lot of pressure atm as well, with the hefty price tag and all. If we finish in the top 4 and qualify for the CL, I'm sure he will be relieved when more quality players join the club and will play with more freedom.
Very poor today and didn't look remotely interested, LvG made the right call to hook him at flaf time, pretty worrying from him in truth.
Since we've actually seen him have a great impact for us, I'm surprised some people feel like it's not possible for him to succeed at United. He'll get back there and I bet it will happen as the weather improves. Hopefully right in time to guarantee us a top 4 spot.
I dream of a lineup with Janucaj and DM playing wide. If both are on form teams will fear us again. DM has too much quality to not bounce back. We must keep him.
So he is a seasonal World Class player then?
Problem is though, buying more quality players doesn't guarantee he'll be able to play with more freedom, or automatically improve.
Agreed, but it will take away some of the pressure. That is, fans and coaching staff will not expect him to be the get-out-of-jail card every game.
To be fair though, his poor form has been reaching the stage lately where people are hardly expecting him to deliver and be our get out of jail card. Been off form for a while now.
See that's the thing I'm not to certain about because I think both things aren't entirely related. Everyone who has followed his career before last season knows that the majority of his career actually consistent of games like today with the occasional world class performance in between. Only last season he really found some consistency in his performances. So he might have the quality to be a class player but so does Nani and he couldn't really find a consistent form for the majority of his career either.
I'm not saying he will never get back to his best but given his history we need to consider the possibility that we payed 60M GBP for a slightly better Nani.
Not that I don't trust LVG, but I'm sure this is also manager related. I'm pretty sure Fergie would have turned it around by now. What I really would like to see is LVG living up to his reputation, show some ballSH, and drop him.
No, I just think it's been common among players from Spain and South America to see them tail off during the winter months in the first PL season. Especially the "flair" players.
Not saying it hasn't been disappointing, it obviously has, but I'd be more surprised if this is as good as he'll be the rest of the year.
Always been inconsistent and erratic. Him drifting infield is a hazard in itself as he's prone to giving the ball away which will lead to opposition counter attacks. Said it before he came and I'll say it again, he's never a 60 million pound player and its quite clearly obvious we overpaid handily.
While I think he's done nothing to deserves to start I guess he needs to play in a bigger tempo and our possession games doesn't suit him that much..
I think we will up the tempo in the course of time so he will get better. Shame he couldn't adapt his game as for example Herrera..

Do people actually realize that players are humans and even if they are world class(or w/e you call it),still some of them need more or less time to adopt on new country,new league,they need to learn new language too etc.? Some need 6 months,some need a 9 or 12,i bet some said tones of bs towards Vidic in his 1st 6 months,hell some would even want him sold/gone/send on loan w/e.
Have a feeling that he might show next season how much posters(including me) are clueless regarding football related stuffs.Just check Ashley Young thread for example,even they might not be comparable due him not being world class on the first place but still.

He should play with less freedom, because it's his decision making that's poor. It was also in the beginning of the season when he showed some good stuff, and in the WC he also started some matches with frustrating bad decisions. When he's got the feeling he's got to force something special, the decisions get even worse.
The do's and don'ts, especially the don'ts, have to became part of his instinct. Then he will be consistent enough and he will be a world class winger.
