The Argentine winger was once again in sensational form to help PSG to an emphatic victory at the top of Ligue 1, while his former employers go from bad to worse
Angel Di Maria could barely have picked a more opportune time to deliver his "I told you so". Played out of position, ignored and marginalised by Louis Van Gaal before eventually moving over the Channel to Paris Saint-Germain, the club and player's fortunes could hardly be more different. While the Dutchman's ailing Manchester United team struggle to build any sort of goalmouth action, the Argentine is having one of the best seasons of his career to date. Di Maria has netted 15 times in all competitions so far this campaign, as well as 11 assists. The former Real Madrid man on average is involved in a PSG goal almost every single game, and his form since switching to a more orthodox forward position alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been nothing short of scintillating. In the last 10 games he has netted four and set up another six - while his former employers in total have managed just 11 goals in the same period. 
Two strikes against Angers helped PSG to a 5-1 drubbing, and one goal in particular caught the eye. A brilliant no-look volley from outside the area summed up the creativity and bravery to try the unorthodox that Di Maria, at his best, can give his team. How Van Gaal must long for even one of those traits in his lethargic United duds, who stumble from poor result to poor result in the seemingly eternal Premier League season...
