I think that performance should be enough to shut up the doubters. Cant believe people were saying he is not someone we need. :lol:
 
Absolute class, every time he got the ball he looked dangerous. Ok this was QPR but I think this guy could do it against any opposition. He is going to be a United legend.

He can, and has. For example he has torn Barcelona apart loads of times, he won't think twice about ripping the teams in this league to pieces too.
 
He's always been good but the switch last season into that hybrid AM/LW role at Real Madrid took him to another level and we are gonna reap the rewards I feel. He was magic today, sure he over hit one or two passes but you are gonna get that with a flair player, but his runs, his awareness and vision were just superb and when he lost the ball he was like a dog and the QPR player had a meat pie tied to his arse the way he hunted to get it back.

:lol::lol: He was a joy to watch alright.
 
Great to see such an exciting player like him in the premier league. I remember he tore Everton apart when we played Benfica years ago in the Europa always been a big fan since.
 
Could be the best player in the PL over the next few years.

Superb signing given what we lacked - someone who can inject pace into the attack.
 
He's such an exciting player, which we've been desperately missing. He can change the game in an instant and he makes the opposition scared shitless. An absolute joy to watch.
 
I never doubt this type of signing because a team can never have enough world class players. When there's a world class player available you must buy him even if he isn't a priority. We need to stop questioning transfer fees because it's stupid to do so, if you want a player a club should do everything in it's power to sign him even more if he's world class. Even a fee of 80m or more shouldn't be enough to deter us from signing a player. If we did this 3 years ago, we would have Lucas, Hazard and Nasri in our team and many other top players which we kept under the radar and never signed because of financial terms.
 
Has anyone got a video of the pass he made to RvP who volleyed it straight into Greens hands?

What a difference he made. He utilized his position very well. On the wings when attacking and providing cover for Rojo when defending as well. Starting counters is his speciality and with his pace I hope he can do this against bigger teams as well. What a world class player. £60m well spent.
 
Bit weird of me but my absolutely favourite contribution was when he fought like hell to win the ball back on the edge of our box then released Mata with a back heel. Perfect combo of grit and imagination. Gif? Anyone?

That was absolutley brilliant. The back heel at the end was ridiculous under those circumstances.
 
Absolutely brilliant. Frightens defenders, picks out some sublime passes and chases and harries too. He's a joy to watch.

Been a hallmark of his game over the years. It's what I love about this player. I don't think there's another footballer with his level of ability who can press and chase as well as he does.
 
Juan Sebastian Veron made that kind of pass to Ruud in pre season 2003. Di Maria looks a bit more complete footballer with his pace, skills and all the good jazz.

Agreed, these days people have a moan because the "english" mindset of rewarding grit over technique, but when he blended both worlds like that it was brilliant.

Not weird at all, it was so amazing I found myself laughing out loud at the audacity following the battle. Amazing combination and a perfect summary of his showcase so far
 
He was EVERYWHERE!

Serious question: Is there another player in the world like him? Obviously I don't mean by this if there are better players than him around, but if there's another player with a world class game and technique who also happens to be great defensively and runs for the whole game? Although a different player, I can only think of Koke who also does everything from the beginning till the end every game on a world class level. Anyone else?

Unbelievable, wasn't it? That actually was the highlight of the game for me!
