He was good but should have scored 4 tonight, it's very encouraging he's getting into these positions though. He will be disappointed not to have had a hat trick tonight. Great cross at the end as well.
Can't believe we spent all of pre season and then the Spurs game playing him as a #10
I think I was more impressed by the cross than the goal. When's the last time we've had a winger put in something like that? Brilliant.
Can get 15 goals this season when he gets fully accustomed to the team, very exciting player.
That was bloody good. First time he's played with confidence for us, and it showed.
the thing is that he knows when to pass but he knows when to not force a pointless pass. Often selfish players do the opposite, they play the pointless passes but when theres a good pass to make they go a bit greedy.
It was phenomenal. Fellaini didn't even have to jump. Blind would've scored it.
What a player. Worthy #7 finally.
Looks gutted he missed that Rooney lay-off, understandably but he keeps being in the positions I'm sure more braces and hattricks will come! Lacked a bit of composure from that move, seems to score the harder ones and over complicates the easier chances but probably due to his age, he certainly doesn't lack confidence!
Van Gaal is an eccentric individual who wants to be different. I understands the psychology to that as sometimes thinking the conventional way, is too easy.
That attack that could have sealed his hattrick was an absolute joy. Shaw was running riot on the right side, Rooney with an amazing lay off and Depay had his hattrick to score. Wonderful performance in the end,
What a performance. Haven't seen such an exciting attacking performance from a United winger in a while. Was just bombarding them.
Good point from Hoddle on BT just now - the lad can actually take a corner.
Let's just be happy he didn't take ages to make the most sensible decision.
Best player ever.
Key word is "sleeps."
Great 2 goals, 1 assist, no complaints. He missed the easiest chance though
Missed a Hattrick for us 
. SELL SELL.
. SELL SELL.His corners have surprisingly impressed me. I dont know how many corners Di Maria took last year that never cleared the first man.
Interesting post-match interview with him. Seems furious with himself for scuffing that chance on the counter. Good to see that even after a MOTM performance, he still feels he could have done better. Looks really up for the challenge, and has a real desire to always do better.
Scary upside really, still so much more to offer. And oh yeah, he has big guns than Hazard.
Think sometimes he hesitates a little, but he is brilliant. His shooting technique is great. Always clean strikes. (apart from the sitter) 
Yeah I liked that a lot. Shows just how determined he is.
Brilliant by him. Sorry for him for not getting the hattrick but he got the assist.
Great display overall, even without the goals. He just looks like a player, that wants to get involved all the time and make things happen. The runs he makes into space, even when the ball is on the other side of the park, is clearly something we have been missing on the wings for some time now.
He was shockingly bad at everything.
Definitely selfish. He ignored about 6 runs Shaw made for him and 1 from Schweini and chose poor options in most of those cases.
Still had a great game before anyone jumps on me...
The flair for his goals was just wow. Great player in there if he fulfills his potential. Great performance tonight.
No, a comment on the game and his performance in that specific game right after the game had finished. Great job on your unique ability to continue with your head firmly lodged where it gets little sunshine.
Fecking missed the game, but after reading in here it sounds like di maria won't be missed.
Januzaj over Herrera/Mata in the #10 is another baffling one. but well I guess he'll figure it out by Feb
You're allowed to ignore runs sometimes. He picked out a lot of passes when he didn't have to. In fact didn't he try to square it across to Januzaj when he was practically through on goal and should have shot himself?
He did have that chance where he was clean through on for his hattrick and chose to square it for someone else instead though.
Needs to improve his whip dance though..
Just oozes confidence.
I love him. Just what the team needs, a player with his class and confidence. Can't wait to see what he does vs Newcastle on the back of this.
Needs to form a better understanding with Shaw, who could be an incredible threat with his pace, as he never really made proper use of the overlap until the opposition had already settled defensively.
Two good goals, may be should have had four but it will be good for him to get off the mark. He still made a fair few mistakes and poor decisions in the game which we can hopefully iron out of him but he always looked to be the most dangerous player on the pitch which bodes well considering his age and relative newness to the team.
Without the last minute assist I don't think he would have been a clear MOM but in the end deserved it.

Yeah his corners were actually very good! Been too long since we had a decent corner taker.
He's not Ronaldo but he's the closest thing we've ever had since.
