A review of the one season Maria spent at old trafford could explain the reason why it went wrong for him at the world class club. It is quite understandable why the hilarious strike of Mata against Liverpool won the clubs goal of the year, but that Maria's strike against Leicester at the second leg of the season in September was also one of its kind an "awesome strike".
Match commentator and also a former united right center back Garry Neville said that, that wonderful strike against Leicester was not unexpected as that was what everybody was expecting from the Argentina man, he continued to say that if only united had won that match it could have been the perfect match for coach Van Gaal to boast of his choice of the record breaking $53 million signing "Angel Di-maria".
"If united had won, that united 5-3 loss to Leicester could have been a gadget" the former united man Gary Neville depicted it to be “an example of everything I expected Di Maria to bring to the Premier League - pace, audacity and a moment of magic capable of turning a game”. but the loss seemed to have broken the diamond pot of Di Maria’s first united year.
