Gary Neville has claimed that Angel Di Maria has “looked lost” in his new wide position for Man United.
Di Maria, 26, joined Man United for a British record fee of £59 million in the summer from Real Madrid.
The playmaker initially took the Premier League by storm, as he settled in seamlessly to England’s elite division.
However, following tough games against arguably the two best teams in the league – Chelsea and Man City – Van Gaal opted to play Di Maria in a wide position.
Against Man City, Di Maria failed to truly influence the game as Man United lost yet another away game.
Neville claims that Di Maria “looked lost” in the wing position and hasn’t been nowhere near effective in that position.
Neville told Sky Sports: “He’s been nullified [against Chelsea and Man City] and he’s been sensational in those first five or six matches when he played, that in-side left in a three in midfield.
“He’s [Louis van Gaal] has played him out on the left and right wings in recent weeks and he’s been nowhere near as effective. In fact he’s looked lost at times in that wing position.”
Man United’s next game sees them host Crystal Palace in the Premier League, as they look to stop their run of three games without a win.
