Angel di Maria is no longer wasting Manchester United money but he’s picked up where he left off at Old Trafford since signing for PSG.

We’re not saying that he won’t come good but we’ve been waiting 16 months to see the Argentine recreate the form shown in his Man of the Match performance in the 2014 Champions League final.

And di Maria had yet another shocker on Friday night when PSG threw away a 2-1 when they hosted Bordeaux.

The stats show that the former Real Madrid man is pretty damn low in confidence.

You’d think that a winger would complete a cross more than 12% of the time just by accident but no, not Angel di Maria.
