He makes things happen but his play has become far too careless. Needs to work harder with his decision making and tracking back. He will always lose the ball on occasions because he's very attack minded and creative but I'd just like to see him get back quicker to help the team when he does lose it.

Hes low on confidence and out of form, we needs to be out of the lime light for a few weeks and he'll be back.
That said, if PSG wanna pay 60m for him this summer that would be nice, we overpaid for a second tier footballer imo (still our best player) that doesn't seem to suit LVGs style. If we're back in the CL surely we can put that money to use on a more suitable and younger player.

But Adnan doesn't have anywhere near the assist rate or effect on the game as Di Maria
Definitely pretty awful in my opinion. Gave up possession numerous times and once in particular could have cost us a goal.
Watching the Mata goal again, the pass was actually pretty poor. Mata was running full tilt and expected the ball to be played along the floor in front of him, if not for his fantastic technique and agility the ball would have been wasted.
Fair enough, he wasn't as good as the rest of the starters which is to be expected since he was coming off the bench. Still managed an assist that wound up getting us 3 points, so I would say he was in the slightest bit awful. He will come good in time once he is played in the right position under this new revamped side.
Don't doubt he'll come good in time. if he sticks around that is! Brilliant player.
He's not really trying. Obviously regretting coming here
Definitely looks that way. He was just jogging around most of the time he was on.
Irony is that Moyes signings are looking good. Maybe it just takes a season to acclimatise. He'd probably be OK next season if he was up for it. Burglary obviously freaked out his family too much.
Apparently he went straight down the tunnel after the game and one of the coaches had to get him back out to clap the fans. Is that true?
If that's true and along with his piss poor performances I'd take Veratti for him.
it was inventive at best but not a good pass. mata made it by doing the unusual. he'll get an assist but was pretty sh1t and did pretty much fuc4all.
Highly doubt it. Another made up story to try and play on the AdM doesn't want to be here nonsense.
He looked happy enough after Mata scored, and in the pictures in the dressing room after the game.
How is his confidence low? Players lacking confidence hide from the ball and don't play the type of passes he does. They play much easier and safer. He simply tries too much and makes a lot of sloppy passes in the process. This is what he's like. I've seen it loads of times at Real. He completely lacks any patience, but the bonus is he never gives up trying to make something happen.
I'm more pissed off by his lack of work off the ball. He worked his nuts off at Real and he's been lazy here in that regard.
Genuinely think LvG must hate the amount of passes he gifts teams.
Coming on as a sub against 10 men was like cheating.
Falcao and him must have great conversations lately.
"Do you know how much they pay me to sit here?"
"Look at Gerrard, at least I waited until towards the end of the game."
"Mata learned how to score like that from me."

I love how his supporters here claim how fantastic his ball was for the 2nd goal. It was a simple pass that I would expect any half decent premier league midfielder / attacker to make. Other than that he was absolutely appalling. Brutal pass to Rooney when we broke and should have made it 3-0, and misplayed pass after pass other than that. I'm not saying we definitely should sell him, but if we do, this summer, I really won't care all that much. Obviously very talented, and the ideal would be for him to turn it around, but I really couldn't care if we sell him. Would like to see him left out for a while. Really don't care what it does to his confidence. Can't play players just to try and get them confidence. He doesn't deserve to play right now.
Guys, he is a class player. Only his first season new league and new country. Give him time.
It's not just that.
It's the fact that with his attitude, the off field shit, the break in etc... you can see he just doesn't want to be here.
Very poor when he came on. Nearly fecked up a simple pass to Mata for the goal, it was only Mata exquisite skill that made the pass look decent. His attempted pass to Rooney when clear was atrocious. Countless times he lost position either by being outmuscled or by overrunning the ball. All in all he was very poor.
He just needs to cut-out those lazy passes and make simpler decisions overall, i can understand him loosing the ball when he is trying to create, every winger does that.
I think a nice vacation will do him good, it's not like has been bad in terms of numbers.
It is a bit funny though that suddently we are clicking without him, considering he is our most expensive signing.

Unless he publicly says something to that effect, I think its best we avoid the mind reading.
I just think he needs a good summer off, getting his act together and come back next year with CL football and fresh legs/mind. By that time, hopefully he has acclimatised to the team/country/culture/language etc.
If he doesnt want to be here for various reasons, sell him for 60m and invest the money in other players. I dont see a problem if everything was a bit too much for him on and off the field. I have no doubt that he will be at his best again next season. Even if he played at PSG this season, he would probably have a hangover. He needs to accept that Real is the past and start finding his motivation again.

I praised him for the assist but I guess the pass was actually made to look better from Mata's technique.
I really can't. Do you mistake his being out of form for not wanting to be here? Because he's always been a player who relies on that. He wasn't consistent for Real Madrid either.
Of course he's had his struggles whilst settling in, but he's already stated he wants United to be his last club in Europe before moving back to Argentina. The rest has been pure speculation without facts. I doubt the club wants to sell him (unless it's for a huge profit). I'm sure he will be here next season.
It's amazing to think he's played his way out of his starting spot. For such a talented and expensive player, his level of concentration and commitment is lacking right now. His attitude and performance have gone from a minor worry to an outright problem. We were so much more disorganized when he entered the game.
Di Maria strikes me as a very instinctive player who needs the game to be played at a high tempo. When he has too much time to ponder he just seems to make so many careless mistakes in possession.
Nonsense. He was our biggest threat in the second half as shown by the fact he created the first goal, created the chance for the penalty and was inches away from setting up a third for Rooney. He's a brilliant threat on the counter. The criticism about the pass for his assist too...wow. It was a little bit behind Mata, sure, but there's no-one else in the team that would've played that pass in the first place, and why not praise him for intelligently pulling off Skrtel into space and creating that opportunity in the first place?

He will come good because class is permanent.
So you are saying the break in was part of his attitude problem? Makes no sense.
Send him back over to Madrid or fecking PSG. How can anyone be that stupid to wish to be at PSG??? Do you even realise you're at one of the best clubs in the world? We pay huge money you little prick! Is there any stop in this greed? It's becoming an epidemic, you wave a slightly higher number infront of a footballers eyes and they get depressed just because they're not allowed to follow that money due to a contract and want to get out of it by behaving like a spoiled brat??????????????
I think he needs a break. Have him acclimatise to his new surroundings in the summer and come back fresh with CL football next season.
Wasn't really Rooney's mistake as he was expecting the cross to come in front of the defender. It's usually a cross like that, that results in a goal. I felt Di Maria should've have crossed earlier. Still, you can blame the one and the other so I guess it's even on the account. Pity it didn't end in a goal though.
His decision making has been shot but that's completely down to confidence. I'm confident we'll see Di Maria that we saw at Madrid next season.
This. The ball is played behind him, so its not exactly a fantastic pass either. He really needs to get his shit together, because right now, i would not have him start over any of Herrera, Mata, Fellaini, Young or Januzaj, which is just sad considered we broke the bank for him
This drama queen mind reading bullshit seriously needs to stop
People were saying the same shit about Mata and look at them now. Di Maria will be fine. What encourages me about him is that despite his poor form he's still wanting the ball and trying to make things happen.
He'll come good. Its like everyone has forgotten his first few games before he got injured. He was outstanding. Coming after a long season and a long summer into a new league...I'm more than happy to give him time.
It's quite clearly a confidence issue. At the beginning of the season his confidence was up in the sky and he tore teams apart because he's obviously a very talented player. If he manages to weather the storm and sticks around for next season I'm sure he'll come good again. With these types of players when they're good it's breathtaking and when they're bad they're borderline liabilities. He almost cost us the game yesterday.
