First win and first 3 points of the season even though the lads didn't put up a strong performance... there's definitely going to be improvement in this team. Additions are required at. This point which from the look of things looks imminent. I believe we will come out tops at the end #GGMU 1 Like |

Dear Angel Di Maria,
Just over a year ago, Manchester United fans were absolutely
ecstatic about your arrival. We were happy that we finally got a
world class winger after years of wait who won’t be afraid to
take the ball, run at the defenders with his dazzling pace, won’t
be shy to whip crosses in, and will light up the Old Trafford
crowd. As you’re well familiar, we love those kinds of exciting
players and absolutely give all our support to them. In fact,
when you arrived from Real Madrid to Manchester United for a
British record fee, even things like “You took our devil, we took
your angel” were said in regards to the reference to Cristiano
Ronaldo.
A year later, you depart for PSG after making just 24 starts for
United in all competitions last year. That should definitely not
be the case for a player of your caliber. Sure, injuries were a
cause for some of your absence but when you were fit towards
the later part of the season, you still weren’t able to break into
the team. Now, you might argue that United didn’t play you in
your favorite position and that might be true as well, but truth
be told, not every player gets to play in his favorite position
every time and players do need to adapt according to the club’s
needs. I’m sure you’re no stranger to the injury crisis United
sustained last year so that must explain why you had to play in
different positions. Great players like you shouldn’t need any
time to adapt, especially when you’re being paid about 200k a
week.
Look at your fellow counterparts at United for example; Mata,
Valencia, Young, Fellaini, and Rooney were all asked to play in
different positions at different times last season but did they
complain? No. Did they say they’re unsettled? No. Did that stop
them for giving their 100% every single time? No. Why you ask?
Because United were going through a tough transition and
everyone wanted to be a part of that. Everyone wanted to make
history. Everyone wanted to give their all and prove to the Old
Trafford faithful why they deserve to be there. It’s a shame
same can’t be said about you. Speaking of adaptability, you
weren’t afraid to change your roles for Real Madrid as well.
From playing a winger in Mourinho’s system to playing in the
middle three of Ancelotti’s system, you weren’t shy of a change
and obviously proved that you can play in different positions
and adapt very well. So why not United? Makes us wonder if
you really wanted to be here in the first place.
Moving on from the injury and transition crisis to talking about
you on a personal level. It’s no surprise that you’re a brilliant
player and we saw the evidence of that time after time in 2014.
From a staggering performance in the Champions League final
to be instrumental in Argentina’s World Cup run, you’ve massive
talent and you aren’t afraid to show that to the world. In fact,
you had a brilliant start for United as well. Then you had some
family troubles with a burglary into your house and I understand
how rattling that can be for your family, especially for your
young daughter. But it’s no surprise that United tried to help you
in every way possible. From giving a secret hotel stay to
offering private security, United tried everything to make sure
that you have everything you need.
Then you had injury troubles which kept you out from the team
and then came eventually the biggest turning point for your
career at United; the red card against Arsenal. No matter what
your intentions were in the sending off at the FA Cup quarter-
final against Arsenal, Mike Oliver made the right choice. Being
rightly suspended, Ashley Young was given his chance at the
left flank and he took it with both hands and United went on a
dream run. When you came back from your suspension, you
were mostly used as a substitute to close out games but
knowing you weren’t a starter at that period, it’s pretty obvious
that LVG and United wanted more from you. United wanted the
hunger, the desire, the passion on the pitch which was clearly
missing from you, but not Young. It was evident that you looked
disinterested and did not want to work hard to fight back for
your place in the team. United fans kept on thinking “Where has
his passion gone?”
Manchester United has a history of being patient with their
players and giving them time. Even the most frustrating players
have been given enough chances to prove themselves. And if
their performances on the pitch aren’t worthy of esteemed
appreciation, their hard work and the fact that they’re trying
hard and never give up does not go unnoticed. In fact, it’s
adored at United because that’s the United way. Never give up,
come back when you’re down, and always fight back. Always.
Just in recent years, the likes of Ashley Young, Fellaini, and
Chris Smalling have received their fair share of criticism but did
they give up and back down from a fight? No. In fact, they’re
regular starters for United now. Even David De Gea when
started, made blunders. Most noticeably the one in his
competitive debut match against Manchester City and people
questioned why we bought a very young and inexperienced
keeper. He was constantly dropped in his first season but did
that stop him from working hard and proving his critics wrong?
No.
Anyways, I can go on and on about players bouncing back and
proving their critics wrong at this wonderful club, but what
difference would it make? Last year when you joined United
your exact words were “Manchester United is the only club I’d
have left Real Madrid for.” Let’s not forget, last year you were
also linked with a move to PSG which reportedly only failed
because of the FFP regulations. One year later when you join
that very same club, it all looks very shady. Call it a
coincidence but it definitely raises a lot of eyebrows regarding
if you really wanted to be here in the first place. Did you really
want to play for this club so badly even after Ronaldo advised
you to join United and snub PSG last year? The biggest
criticism, however, would be you being a flat out liar and
turning on your word. Earlier this summer, you admitted that
you didn’t have a very good first season at United and you want
to change that next season. That you want to stay but then
when the team expects you to board the plane and join them for
their US training session, you just disappear? Forget your
intentions of leaving, where is the basic courtesy and
professionalism? Where’s the respect for the club? Where’s the
respect for your fellow players who are looking forward to play
and train with you? If you really wanted to leave, why couldn’t
you be so professional about it like David De Gea instead of
making a drama and mockery out of yourself? The United fans
will never know, but they’ll surely like an answer one day.
Finally, to wrap my emotions and frustrations about your stay at
United, I’d like to acknowledge that Manchester might not be
one of the greatest places to live on the earth. Especially after
you compare it with Madrid and Paris, but football is much
more than just where you live. It’s who you play for, it’s who
you want to play for. A mere geographical preference shouldn’t
impact your decision about staying at a club. After all, it’s not
about the lifestyle, it’s about the respect and love for the game.
As I mentioned before, last year when you signed for us, I was
very ecstatic and as much as I’d love to say I’m really sad and
disappointed regarding your departure, I really can’t say that.
I’m pleased to see you leave. I don’t want players who lack the
motivation and desire to play for the badge on the shirt to play
for the club I support. No matter what the reasons are in your
head for the departure, everyone here at United would have
loved to see you give it another try and fight like a winner. But I
guess you didn’t wanted to do that so all I’m going to say is
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
Thank you for your one year at United and for everything that
you did at this beautiful football club. Good luck in your future
but I can assure you, you’ll never get a club like United again.
Sincerely,
A passionate Manchester United fan. 2 Likes |

From the look of things it seems that this season's EPL is going to be highly competitive as the underdogs are beginning to fade away from their tags. They are getting much stronger. I just hope we try our best to achieve excellence this season #GGMU |
