Di Maria and Falcao are the best things that could have happened to Mata. He will finally have players who he can pass to who will make runs around him.

He had that in Welbeck (and did actually look good in pre-season. So hopefully Di Maria makes Mata look better.
I think to some extent talk about Di Maria has died down a bit since signing Falcao however this is the player im most excited to watch tomorrow. Its his home debut and he was impressive in his first game for us as well as outstanding against Germany. Im hoping we see him play the full 90 minutes and see how he integrates now the team should be more stable.
Another one shoehorning Welbeck into discussions.
Totally agree. He's the one that we should be building the side around. Get him in his best position and work around that.
Where do you feel that is? The issue is we are short of quality in CM (dependant on how Herrera and Blind perform) and on the Wings. Di Maria is a good answer to both those positions but I feel we need to give him a position to own and stick to it. Im thinking out wide with some license to roam as he had vs Germany. His delivery in that game was world class and we have seriously lacked creativity so far this season
Centre in a three man midfield, and bring in a winger. Di Maria offers things in midfield that we couldn't find elsewhere.
We can find another very good winger though.

Left wing IMO. Even though he was class last season more centrally, I feel that his pace and flair are more suited out wide. We finally have a brilliant, natural winger for the first time in ages (probably since Nani's one good season!), so let's use him. The problem tho, is if we persist with 3-5-2, the there is no left wing!
A front four of ;
Di Maria Rooney/Mata Janazaj
----- Falcao/Rvp----
Would be my ideal line up, with Herrera and Blind sitting deep.
Home debut. Very excited by this
Might as well ask here, do you prefer ADM to play in central midfield or as a winger? Not for today, but in the long term I mean.
I can see him putting one in the top corner.
Man Utd 4:0 Q.P.R.
Cant say how happy i am we dont have Young or Nani taking our freekicks now...
He is so classy, will score another one today 
He's a fecking ridiculous talent.
The pace and quality
Real Madrid 
He really was Real Madrid best player wasn't he? He oozes quality in the same mold as Suarez, Ronaldo, Messi, etc.
Wonderful combination of pace, skill and creativity this lad.
Thank you Madrid.
He's fecking quality!
The consummate team player with top world class skills.
Why why why would you ever part with a player like Di Maria.
Real Madrid are the most stupid football club in the universe

Yeah he's pretty good!
Going to become the player of the season for us. So dynamic and wonderful to watch.
Thank you Perez.
We have a star. A (former) Real star. Best business this summer (after getting LvG).
Seeing him run with the ball with pace at defenders and I suddenly remember this is what seeing a proper man utd winger is all about. Not the crap stand and dummy and then turn and then keep turning infinitely by Young and the stand and pass it back to Rafael by Valencia.
Thanks Pérez!Love him. Love him. Love him.
That is all.
That is all.
Think he has a free role. In fact when we don't have the ball both RvP and Rooney move wide and we have the likes of Herrera and Mata pressing. Di Maria is everywhere for us today and that's the role which I think will bring out the best in him.
Worth every pound.
Thank you Perez
Thank you Perez
Forget his individual ability. The fact he is willing to run instantly brings out the best in all our other technical slower players. He creates the space for them to work their magic. The biggest winner in this transfer was Mata, and I stand by that. Add Herrera and maybe Falcao adding some injection and power and pace up front, and we are gonna be playing some beautiful stuff.
Selling Di Maria shows Florentino Perez's transfer policy is insane. This guy is the class above.
He's exactly what we needed. A player that can run at speed with the ball.
Madrid will try to buy him in january.. he's really really good.
Has transformed this team. In the top 10/15 best players in the world.
Why RM let this guy go is just unbelievable. Best player in the league?
Just needed 45 minutes only to show that he can play anywhere in midfield. Love the way he helps the centre to build attacks.
No mistakes on the pitch... Last product is pure world class. He's gonna bang some assists in this club.

Ronaldo and £40 million for Di Maria.
