Boom. Lamela as skipper this week, and he picks up 2 assists. Great selection!

Which is why I am amazed they are set to buy ADM. Brilliant player but they need defenders far more than a good attacking player.

He's more of an attacking midfielder than has a good work-rate in terms of tracking back. Ideally, you want a midfielder that's more balanced like Vidal.
A United team carrying Rooney, RVP, Mata and Di Maria seems destined to collapse - unless they get more/better players around them.

Addiction. You're not alone.
He plays instead of Mata if you are signing him as a CM, otherwise you have no balance what so ever and the defence will get shredded.
Recreating Louis van Gaal?s 3-5-2 formation in Football Manager 2014 | Squawka News
This is a great breakdown of the 3-5-2 and shows that need for one of the two deeper CMs to hold.

I think left wing-back would suit him best of the positions we have. You look at the amount of space Young got today and think surely Di Maria would do something with it, since he can both go past players and cross very well. But I doubt Van Gaal agrees, and we have Shaw, Rojo and possibly Blind for that position anyway.
But CM suits him better than CAM, because he's better running from deep than receiving the ball high up the pitch.

When my brother told me yesterday about Di Maria I wondered if I would need to revise my 'won't make the top 4' prediction
But after today, I don't think one player will make enough of a difference
I think the chasm between whisky breath and ginger bollocks' abilities meant nobody really knew how good the squad was. Obviously a few key players have moved on/retired over time but now the scale of LVG's job is becoming clear.
I'll probably look really stupid like I have done in the past when I've written United off but for me, they'll do well to finish above Everton and Spurs
