    Looks like he's off to PSG, i'm disappointed in him, because he had the chance to become a United legend but he wants to move at the first opportunity.

    Seems to me like LVG has been a bit of a **** towards him. Might have got that wrong but none of his comments seem particularly aimed at backing up ADM. If I was ADM, my house had been robbed, it wasn't quite comming together on the field and the manager was acting like he didn't give a **** if I stayed or went and another large club comes in for me, I'd be tempted to consider the offer.

    I'd be more dissapointed in how the club have dealt with the player if I was you. Sign a WC superstar and a year later he feels unwanted?

    Possibly doesn't suit the league but seems a bit soon to get rid. Then again his stock will probably never be higher than it is now.

    Question is, was he Van Gaal's man or the Woodwoodwoodward's?

    Van gaal has no control of the club. He has no idea whether ADM is coming on the pre season tour or going.
    Embarrassing that Woody keeps him in the dark. Imagine if Woody had tried to do it with fergie

    United's transfer policy is such an incoherent mess who knows

    The only thing legendary about him Matth in a Utd shirt is that he becomes the biggest flop the PL has ever seen <ok>

    I have no idea where you've gauged any of that from? First I've heard anyone cone out with that.

    The fact is LVG made public statements about his sympathy and support for ADM after the robbery. And he's always given him every chance to prove himself. I was at the FA Cup game at Old Trafford. I had some sympathy for Di Maria as I dont think he was getting the right service or playing in his preferred position. His work ethic was exceptional BUT you cant get away from the fact he reacted like a selfish prat and cost us any chance of saving the match or a chance at silverware. It's just an example but one that shows the problem with ADM often lay with ADM. Or with circumstances beyond anyone's control. I actually think with the players we've bought he'll actually have a much better season if he stays.

    I'm one of LVG's biggest critics but I think what is happening with Di Maria is largely of his own making. That includes the push to move to PSG.

    ADM wasn't good enough for Utd. He do well in the French league though.

    How has LvG been a **** or are you, as is so often the case, talking absolute bollocks?

    LvG's most recent comments on ADM is that he hopes he stays.

    Hes already far surpassed several players in the PL*. Hes nowhere near the biggest flop.

    *most play for Chelsea or City

    £60 million pound, done nothing, couldn't get into the side in the latter half of the season. How many goals did he score?

    You're damn right he's the biggest flop the PL has ever had.

    True. Replaced by Ashley Young and mop head. Couldn't script it better. Of course not his fault though, long ball louis to blame really

    he scored 3 which I think may be more than Torres managed. being a winger/midfielder his job is to make goals and only one player made more in the entire league. He also has the 2nd highest number of chances created, which, as explained, happens to be his job.

    So no, he int the biggest flop ever. Not even close. He was hardly a great success either. Again, not even close.

    goals dont equal attacking football.

    Team A attacks relentlessly and has 100 attempts at goal

    team B defends like a bus and has 1 attempt at goal.

    team B wins.....
