Manchester United players in awe of Di Maria’s skills, admits Blackett


The 20-year-old admits players "stop and stare" at the Argentine's displays in training and says the winger's introduction to the Premier League has been "amazing"
Tyler Blackett admits he and his Manchester United team-mates are in awe of the skills Angel Di Mariadisplays during training.

The Argentina international moved to Old Trafford from Real Madrid for a British-record fee of £59.7 million in August and has adapted quickly to the Premier League, scoring three goals and registering three assists in five games.

And Blackett, who was handed his first-team debut by Louis van Gaal this season, says he has been impressed with the "special" winger’s introduction at United.

“He’s been amazing,” Blackett told Match of the Day Magazine.

“He’s one of the world’s best players and the things that he does in training really make us stop and stare.

“The dribbling, the close control, these are things that a lot of players would like to have, but that not everybody’s got. He really is special.”
