Di Maria registered 14 assists in his one season. If the club was well run at the time, the best thing to do was to try and fix the issues because the player was worth it.

Weird revisionism.
He absolutely had a purple patch when he first arrived, but he did not but in whatsoever and didn’t want to be here. I for one am glad we didn’t waste two seasons after trying to beg him to stay when he clearly didn’t even want to be here.
There was no keeping Di Maria as an option, for all the clubs faults moving him on was the right decision.
He has the bit of quality that we haven't had in years. Beast.
Think if he were fluent in English he'd be seriously considered. Just have to wait and see.
In the summer we have 2 major candidates to be captain in Martinez and Casemiro. However, I don't think it'll be taken from Bruno.
What is the revisionism? That a poor season by his standard was a productive one? Or that Di Maria in 2015 was a player worth trying? Or maybe the club was well run at the time?
Monster of a player. He was everywhere and his positioning was insane. The amount of times he won the ball or disrupt the opponent attack was absurd. Didnt know he can pass that well too
Quality player. Very happy he's a United player
@Yagami took a long break back in early September, he was fed up of people on the caf telling him he was clueless about Casemiro.
Well timed break you’d have to say, if he was tired of it before these last 4-5 games
Well, 3 captains better than one I guess
We went from having no candidates before this season to having at least 2 choices. Weird how it's all worked out.Should be promoted as a "profile gif" in this performance thread.Mood. My fave gif right now.
It's quite amazing that we finally guessed with signing senior player who quite possibly came here for his last paycheck.
I enjoy watching him play, looks like a great player.

He'll be monumental for us, the fact that he held his own in such a an important game is telling, one more additional and we just might have the best midfield in the entire league.
Also that goal
Also that goal
Offering Bellingham the chance to play with him might be decisive. World class player and one of the greatest midfielders of the modern era.
An absolutely world class player. It is so good to watch a player this good in midfield after so long.
This is what it should mean.Mood. My fave gif right now.
If you’ve read the recent quotes from his missus you‘d see that there was probably only so much the club could do to get more out of him. Very very hard for anyone to perform in a new environment when their other half is desperate to get the feck out of there.
Of course Di Maria is a great player. It doesn't need to be said. It was a joke, due to the emotional reaction his name causes here.
Absolutely correct that he hated it here and we were right to sell him. But he was also clearly a level above everyone else in terms of quality on the pitch.
As shown by him being really good for years for PSG after. Still a cnut though
Monster. As most sensible posters said, he needed time to settle
Really love the effect he's had on our midfield. God, we've been so easy to play through these past few years. Finally, we've got a legit one-of-the-best-in-the-world midfielders. What the hell took so long?
I know about the quotes and the situation existed when he was still in Madrid which is why it's pretty irrelevant, she wanted to stay in Madrid, he chose to leave, she preferred Paris and he still moved to United. The issue is that falling out with LVG gave him no reason to convince his wife.
Some players celebrate like this and some leave the stadium before the final whistle.Mood. My fave gif right now.
Brilliant header for his goal. Passing seemed fine for first 30 mins then kept giving the ball away carelessly.
Yeah it didn't go that way.
I think the RVP goal at City is up there with the blue smoke in the background.
Where are those wankers who were calling him a flop?
Himself, Antony and Lisandro have great character!
He only misplaced a couple of passes in the second half. It was a top class performance.
Casimero del Diablo.Mood. My fave gif right now.
Finally, we find out what this advert was referring to:
It’s good a ball went in. Casemiro was unlucky with posts and crossbars lately, this time Kepa touched the ball into the post, but luckily enough it got in off the post then. Perhaps just 2 centimetres over the line, though
Jeez you must've been watching the wrong game.
Casemiro is the kind of player where people who just watch United for entertainment, but don't really understand fotball, will come with this kind of comment, because they are only watching what is happening with the ball. They are not paying attention to positioning or areas closed off by the player, when the ball is not near him. The rest of us understand that this is what United has been lacking (McT prime example of somebody not knowing how to do this) in our defensive midfield for sooooooo long. Even with Varane out, our defense will keep looking solid because of this.
Casemiro loves Man Utd. That celebration meant a lot. He isn’t here for just a pay check.
Great header, but I didn’t expect him to do a Dan James with the big equaliser celebration, when we should have been getting the game restarted to go for a winner!
I actually think you’re trolling a bit. Both here and in the thread in the general.
Give it a rest eh?
That’s a shame that they are banned. It would be glorious to see the mental gymnastics they would employ to try to salvage their opinion.But @Replenish said he's shit though, and apparently he's never wrong about a signing? I'm so confused
Edit: I think he's banned, pity! Where's @Yagami ? He was another one wasn't he?
Well written.
Agree
The entire team was at fault there but who's going to tell big cas about winning?
