When Angel di Maria
was named as one of the best forwards by FIFA Pro Team (2014), my heart
literally ached. Well, I guess that given the manner in which he exited
Santiago Barnabeu for Old Trafford, the award was handy as a consolation and an
ingredient to help him pick up the pieces and move on. And he did start life
well in United, scoring some amazing goals; if I were to rate the goal he
scored in the English Premier League, away at Leicester City. And that was all.
Watching him play in
the recent past, you may wonder whether he is duly worth the thousands of
dollars he is being paid weekly! Well, truth be told, Di Maria must now fully
get rid of Real Madrid out of his mind, and accept the fact that he is now a
Red Devil. All the potentials to turn him into 2014 World Cup’s best Argentine
player are still intact in him. However, he must learn one thing which makes
English Premier League unique; team work.
Over the recent
past, he has painted the face of a lone ranger in United’s frontline; who is
very hungry to score a goal at any coast, but with no success. His inability to
shine has been United’s inability to be at their peak.
