He looked very sharp today.
Let's hope it's just a tight hamstring and he was taken of as a precaution

Good decision to bring him off with Xmas fixture list round the corner.
I knew he shouldn't have said anything about injuries in that interview ffs 
Hopefully the quick change means a game missed and thats it.
Hopefully just a twinge and he can miss the Stoke game and be ready for Southampton.
Can't say his injury has come as a surprise. This is really mental. 
Nah. He was our second best attacking outlet vs Arsenal by far.
Its a shame as he looked to be doing well before he came off - after some poor performances recently it was nice to see him looking sharp.
The silver lining is that it gives LVG a chance to try out the Carrick/Herrera/Fellaini midfield which I think is the way to go for us - I would be utilising Di Maria on the wings or competing with Mata for the #10 spot myself.

Ah, yes, that slipped my mind. He was actually very good then.
Out of Stoke game according to LVG.
Shame obviously but at least it didn't seem like a full tear, just a tweak. A rest won't do him any harm.
Wish I hadn't switched him to my fantasy footy captain this morn, it's all my fault!
Doesn't seem to be taking corners anymore and I'm over the moon about it. I love Di Maria. His free kicks are fine but his corners were awful. Either sailed over everyone's heads and out for a FK, or hit the first defender. Even when he was on the pitch yesterday RvP took the corner(s). Hope he's back from injury soon though. We will miss his surging runs.
We'll miss him, without a doubt. But to be honest I'm too excited about Herrera/Mata playing to worry too much about ADM, especially vs. Stoke
Apparently his wife has confirmed on Instagram (where else?) that he has a 'small tear' in the hamstring. How long are we looking at him being out with that news? We talking weeks, months?
Couple of weeks as far as I know, not a complete tear which would be months.
It's very vague but the fact she said "small" would make you think weeks, rather than months. You'd usually talk about grade of a tear, rather than size but I'd assume "small" is at the less serious end of the scale.
Ah not to bad then, especially considering our injury record this season.
We should be okay tonight without him, but we'll definitely miss him away at Southampton though, I'd imagine we'll be set up to counter a lot more in away games, and Di Maria is a crucial part of that.
Lads, these recent posts are an example of ones that should be in their own thread and not this one.
Incidentally, there is a fecking separate thread for his injury!

Should probably start an "Angel Di Maria's Wife | 2014/2015 Social Networking" thread too.
Wasn't long ago this whole discussion would have taken place in that godawful twitter thread *shudder*
What would we do without ADM's wife!
I'm thinking maybe Niall should introduce player injury status to the banners
Lets see how the season plays out. PSG sure do love them some Angel. I'm open minded about this. The absence of a 60m signing should be palpable, instead I see Ander Herrera step in to the team and frankly transform things in the middle of the park. As I said,lets see how the season plays out.
We're not going to sell Di Maria in the after one season.
Come on man, he's 26. We can have Angel at our club for the next 3 years, which will also be his prime years. We could cash in on him then, and still likely make our fee back.
Angel is here to stay for a few seasons.
Probably and most likely not.
My God is a bit more accomodating.
That seems ok.

Easily the best player at United since Ronaldo. Pay him what he wants. It's vital we have the world's best players at Old Trafford.
He only signed for us for a British record fee 3 months ago. His wages will hardly be peanuts. It's not even time for talking about increasing them.
Something doesn't sit well about him to me. just get the feeling he would prefer to be at PSG and live the absolute high life. Hopefully wrong but if somebody does come in for him in a year or so, my bet would be Bale returning to the prem.
Understandable really, he is not English, he isn't our youth product, England is too different to Argentina/Spain, so obviously he would rather be in Spain or even Paris than England/Manchester. With the likes of Herrera/Rojo it is something else, they made a step up so can easily ignore the "disadvantages" of living in Manchester in exchange of the "luxury" of playing for United. Whereas Di Maria has not only come from a city like Madrid and a club like RM but also won the decima with them and was very settled there.
Anyway he has already said he isn't missing much, not even food as he is eating similar/same stuff in Manchester, and the only thing he is missing is warmer weather.
Bales agent said he doesn't want to come back though and bale is playing really well for Madrid so they have no reason to sell him either. If he does come back it'll be when he's on his 30's I guess.
Hmmm, i just cant see bale as a long term player at madrid though, the way they chop and change their attacking players im just not sure. id imagine he sticks around for another couple of seasons at the very least but he will still be 27/28 and bang in his prime.
Apparently there is an outside chance he might be ready for tonight. I wouldn't want to risk it, unless absolutely necessary though, which I don't think it is.
NO chance, LVG wants his players to train for a week and pass a fitness test before he consideres them for selection. I think the Liverpool match is more likely.
Well, so he's been held for the Liverpool game, right?
Yes, I would think so
Really struggle to stretch teams without his pace, has to be back for the scum on Sunday otherwise it could be another painful game.
I don't know how we are going to set up against Liverpool, but if we stick with the 3-5-2 we really need him back as we are going to need his pace on the counter attack.
