Don't think I can blame Van Gaal for not treating Di Maria like a galactico. The room for error last season was miniscule. He doesn't have a chance to entertain Di Maria in midfield. He got a working formula with Fellaini and Young and ran with it. If he gave di Maria freedom that he wanted and we lost a few points and out of the top 4 it would be a disaster

Agreed but think you might be disappointed there. I'm expecting a bit from both sides. Don't think it's a parting on good terms at all. If Di Maria mouths off, we will bite back I'm sure.
Sooner, it will be revealed that he staged his own burglary to initiate plans to leave the club.
Just want this to become official now so everyone can get over it.
Yeh me too. We might holding back on announcing a deal for Pedro in order to deflect all the criticism we're gunna get when it is official. Would expect the deals to be announced relatively closely.
Was just about to post that link on Di Maria's supposed cnutish behaviour. Wonder how true this is? Pretty certain he'll slag us off once he's at PSG. What a disaster of a signing, my goodness.
That's an amusing gif waiting to happen
He looks fierce relaxed over in Doha. Medical must have gone well...
Exactly that. Classic utter sh!te from kids running a rubbish fanzine.
"I want a move to Real Madrid"
erm...didn't we just buy you from them?
Even Owen was a better #7
His shirt was apparently not on display in the megastore today. Must be imminent!
Unless it was those damn burglars again.
I'm going to take Fergie's approach: he's gone from me now, all I care about is what United do.
Well thank Cantona that this saga will soon be over and we can move on. Now just get Pedro in and bring the season on.
I should have stopped reading that crap the moment I read about Madrid. But I didn't, and ended up wasting a couple of minutes of my life.

done
Good riddance rat face.
Really hope his career never recovers, feel he has used the club I love to get a years hefty pay packet while waiting for his preferred option to come along.
Didn't even try towards the end!
United need to make a big statement next, does anybody get the feeling we might have forced this transfer through to get more cash in for a bigger money transfer? Like Ronaldo or Bale or something.
His exit interview is going to be interesting...
I'm so excited I can go back to hating Di Maria now. cnut.
And that the burglars were actually Carlos Tevez and Gabriel Henize!
Glad to see the back of him , no fight in him for the PL that much was clear.
Surprised he didn't miss the flight
Maybe! I think they will try but it could just transpire that nobody's available.
Well a lot of it seems to be him not really performing and not having the attitude of actually trying or looking like he wanted to be here.
The rumours regarding PSG have been circulating since he signed which most of us found odd including me. It now looks like they may have been true.
he was a big statement wasn't he? no he was shit.
How much of the 59m do we reckon was in incentives and performance bonuses? Surely he didn't reach any of them, which would make the fee lower in the end?
We would loose about 12mil in the deal
I wouldn't have thought we would have to pay Real anything in terms of add ons so let's say the 59m was actually 50 up front with 9 in add ons. We've shelled out £50m.
If the deal with PSG is for, say, £40m with 5 in add-ons, we will have lost a minimum of £5m but potentially a maximum of £10m if he doesn't hit his targets.
If that newspaper report is true about ADM then I for one am glad he is gone. Trying to unsettle the team and get Rojo to leave as well, what a snake, I hope he gets a serious injury. So long as nothing is released until PSG sign him of course, it will be interesting to see how Ibrahimovic and ADM get along. PSG are stacked with midfield options and also attacking options so it will be good to see where he will fit in and how many players he can upset while doing so, is Blanc the man to manage him?
The sooner this is completed the better...
I thought the £59m was the initial fee, rising to £63m dependant on appearances, trophies etc.? Could be wrong though.
So important we put in some bids for gamechangers. we need a replacement for what he SHOULD have given us. that world class match winning quality. Reus, de bruyne etc.
Sure I read somewhere (may have been BBC) that the loss for us is not that bad due to the pound being strong I think
Where did you read that ? That is news for me.
What a spineless turd this guy turned out to be.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.
That's what the media have been reporting it as, think people have made up figures to make it look like we wont be getting hit hard on a loss for him. With the Adidas money coming in, over £100m a year, we can take the hit but would prefer we made sound choices in the future. Not saying he wasn't the right choice at the time as he was unbelievable when he first arrived but if the reports of unrest are true then we need to cut our losses incase it disrupts the squad further.
I don't believe the reports are totally true, LVG strikes me as a guy that would take no prisoners in regards to this kind of behaviour and would have ordered him to play for the reserves the rest of the season. Saying that judging by his performances the rest of the season it certainly looked like he hated being at the club, looks like my Di-Maria top is going in the bin.
What report?
