He's going to be fantastic for the rest of the season. I can feel it in my length.Its nearly Di Maria day
Middle one?
Lol, I read that as "leg" for some reason!
Left, Right, middle. Wherever it is, I'm feeling it
That's what Angel says to van Gaal.
I don't think he even needs that, he just needs players who can pass and think quickly around him - Herrera, Blind, Mata, RVP and then maybe someone with pace on the wings to give them relief. But down the middle, we need to play them all together. It would completely stop our zombie passing with our CBs, Fellaini and even Rooney, who for all the brilliance he brings, undoubtedly slows down the play a bit.
Can't wait to see him play today. He's such a class player. Also very direct. Still feels weird that we have him.
We need a big performance from him today I feel, hopefully he's in the middle rather than on the wing.
Really want to see him central again. I liked his performance against Arsenal and it worked against them but I prefer him giving our midfield a spark.
Sadly, I think it will be Rooney who will deeper and Di Maria out wide.

Some pace upfront would allow us to play at a higher tempo. You can see he's used to playing much quicker, as you said, a pace that allows us to pass quickly. Currently, it feels as if he has to slow things down because of others.
i don't know but just got a funny feeling that bale is more buyable than rues. either one would be great for us though.
agree with you about those 2 or 3 players away from being back to one of the best team as well. hope we go for some big names this summer.
I just hope he starts in midfield from now on
This x 1000!
Do we think that he is starting today, considering he's just had that sub appearance at Yeovil?
I did put him in my starting lineup, but I have my doubts. Half-time sub maybe?
I'm torn 50/50, really. Normally, under van Gaal he wouldn't start quite yet - but it seems like he's been a bit less consistent with that rule lately. We shall see as the big man says.
He looked fit enough against Yeovil IMO. I think LVG will start him today. Southampton is the hardest game we've had in a while, and we'll need all of our best players.
Hoping for an impressive performance today. Would be nice to see him remind the rest of the premier league just what level of talent this guy has. Seems to have gone off the radar since his injury and weakish performances before then.
Love watching him; has that Ardiles lightness and movement, though way beyond as a player.
Glad he's not going to get dragged too deep without the ball, though saying that you should dominate possession. Expecting this to be amongst the best games of the season, though maybe a bit early with so many recent injury recoveries.
Looked sharp against Yeovil though and that was a week ago.

Man Utd 0:1 Southampton
He has a bit of Hollywood Steve syndrome, every time he gets the ball he tries the final ball, dribble or shot. Frustrating when he is having a bad day.
RVP must be fuming with his constant long range shots 
Reminds me of Nanis poorer performances so far.
He should keep it simple and not try to some hero by shooting the ball from stupid angles and distances.
LVG is using him similar to how he used to use Arjen Robben. I like.
Started off well but nothing was working for him near the end of the half. Sometimes it seems as if he runs himself into the ground and plays the last 10 minutes of a half totally shattered.
He's not match sharp. This is pretty obvious.
Shite performance so far, but I'd prefer him to get the ball in deeper positions, earlier in our attacks. Or on the wing.

Its nice to have someone with a bit of pace and directness. He almost seems to contradict the teams slow, measured build up style. In a good way of course
I don't mind it, he needs to start hitting the target though even if just to force rebounds and corners. We're not getting the ball to feet in the box so it's refreshing to see someone actually having a go.
Di Maria is our one player who tries the risky through ball or long shot consistently. When it comes off it looks genius, when it doesn't you have today. I still would give him the freedom to try out incisive passes though.
sanchez
How good would Sanchez be for us in this game? How good would Di Maria be for Arsenal? Honestly the problem is us, not Di Maria.
No problem with him doing the risky stuff, he just looks a bit clumsy and snatchy today.
Should be playing deeper. You can see he wants to get on the ball and run at defenders from deep. Just swap him and Rooney ffs.
Just saying if Zaha or Wilson played like that....
We know Di Maria's quality and we need him to show what a great player he is second half.

He was performing great in CM, so obviously we play him everywhere but there.
