I think I hate him. I'm not sure.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
No matter how he fails, he's still always earn big wages.
Thing is he was forced out of Real to the highest bidder so you can see why he's saying he didn't want to join us, as he didn't really want to join anyone.
But he is a plank for talking about it so much, as with the move he has proved quite clearly that he is not an elite player, he is/was just another player made to look very good in a top class team, we should have seen this before blowing £60 million on him, and PSG have been suckered into the same trap albeit for a little less money.
Stay Classy Angel, and keep quiet.

Do you want to punch him in the face? I find that I say "yes" to that question then it's 90% likely that I hate the person.
Definitely want to punch him in the face.
I still think he's a ridiculously talented player, if not the strongest mentally.
I'd be very worried that he'd haunt us if we played PSG in the CL.

I'd like us to face them. Would be interesting to see Smalling bullying him.
Like Rojo.
He racked up the majority of his goals and about half his assists in the first 2-3 months when he was good. From about December onwards he was piss poor.
PSG are a better side than us, I'd rate them as the 4th best team in Europe. They are just unlucky to face Barca/Real quite often in the UCL.
It's childish but I've no problem admitting I hope he fails. No injuries, no burglary, just consistently bad form is fine by me.
Yeah I know, but I don't expect us to go far in the CL anyway.
We havent looked that great though,to go far in the UCL you need to be able to do well away from home. Still remember going on sum ridiculous unbeaten run away from home in Europe back when we were still at our pomp under Fergie. Its something we definitely lack, but we'll get there.
Aye. If anything I'd prefer him to stay fully fit and just play consistently badly.
Yeah, that would be harsh. I'd be ok with some sort of minor anti-social behaviour, though. Maybe 50p-ing his car, or loud music in his neighbour's house.
Where's that poster who decided I was talking shit when I claimed this? He was adamant it was United and Van Gaal's fault. Think he was a Barca fan as well 
You really don't need to be great away from home, you just need to not lose.
If you win every home game and draw every away game you're in the final.
I don't hate him. He assisted Mata's winning goal against Liverpool, a winning goal against Arsenal. I wish him all the best in Paris.
He is not a bad player and in form Di Maria would be a fantastic player for any club. It's just sad that it didn't work out for any parties concerned and that he had to leave Real Madrid in the first place.

Just scored yesterday.
But was very poor overall. Everyone was though, tumescent game.
This form from him is not out of the ordinary. His last season at Madrid was abnormal, with which he unfortunately fooled the transfer muppets and Woodward. Otherwise he was and is, literally, Nani. Grass is greener on the other side and all that...
They should really give PSG the title already. Boring league this year.
And for the rest of the eternity.

Poor Isco.
Saw an interview with him after the match. God, he was frustrated and talked a bit shit like PSG were totally the better team and stuff like that. In terms of relationsship you would say that this man hasn't found a way to overcome the separation.
Apparently he was brilliant against Real according to the ever reliable twitter.
PSG were though. According to the snippets i watched, the media & the Real fans on here @carvajal
AdM was also pretty decent for once.
But yeah, he is a bit bitter. I don't like it when players talk like that either after a match. You don't take your chances, you lose. I think Real were prob his dream club though, them or Barca I'd think. So his bitterness is understandable.
He has been PSG MOTM in PSGs last 3 games I believe
He's pass to Cavani in to the box (who bottled it, ofc) in the late minutes of the game was brilliant.
Manages to show bits of brilliance.

Apologies for that then. I don't really watch them, and the last 2 weeks ago, as far as my memory recalls, I read in the AdM thread, L'Equipe was calling for him to show his true form etc.
So last night was the first time I watched a bit of him.
You're talking about the pass at the end of the first half stoppage time, min. 45+4? Or did he put Cavani through again at the end of the match?
I think ants is referring to that pass, Ish, truly sublime pass it has to be said and huge cock-up by Cavani. Di Maria has been better recently (though St Etienne and Rennes weren't really difficult tests), and yesterday apparently he was excellent and PSG outplayed Real at the Bernabeu according to all reports.
yeah, sorry. it was at the end of the first half. remembered it incorrectly.You're talking about the pass at the end of the first half stoppage time, min. 45+4? Or did he put Cavani through again at the end of the match?
Flash in the pan type of player. Pure talent is putting a player against any sort of opposition, anywhere on a random pitch in any competition and still find a way to be a threat. That sets apart world class players and class players.
No worries, I just thought Cavani missed another opportunity in a big game - which wouldn't have surprised me tbh.
Thanks RiP.
Aye PSG were the better team, even after losing Verratti after 16 mins. But yeah, you can't miss those chances and expect to get anything out of the game against big opposition. It's a good barometer for them though. They can compete against any team in Europe. Sooner or later they'll get to the final. City v PSG - the stuff nightmares are made up of
Sold him to pay for James & Kroos:

More of Di María's incredible playmaking skills since he signed for PSG. Some of his passes to Ibrahimović and Cavani are just
Exactly the sort of player we currently need
To bad he didn't want to be here in the first place.
All style no substance these days.
Thers a reason Blanc and the media who watch every game he plays have criticised his influence thus far
