WATCH: David De Gea shows off his deadly free kick tekkers to adoring United team mates

Di Maria ain't bad either

Conan Doherty

Oh, David. Please don’t leave. We’ll even let you hit the free kicks.

That might not be the worst idea in the world after United’s sought-after number one showed a David Beckham-esque right boot on the training field.

The Spaniard was joined by fellow United team mates, Marcos Rojo and Angel Di Maria, in a bwin challenge against YouTube stars, ‘Freekickerz’.

But it was the Old Trafford men who were teaching their opposition a bit of a lesson. Imagine. The professionals.

De Gea hit the sweetest free kick of the day when he lifted one over the wall and back down again into the bottom corner before he was mobbed by the two Argentinians who just want to make sure he’s happy.

‘You’re having a good time, right? You don’t want to go anywhere else, right? Right? David?’

Check out this effort.

If that wasn’t enough, Di Maria then turned around and showed glimpses that he actually has, hiding inside that shell of his somewhere, Angel Di Maria. The real one. He pinged the cross bar with this effortless rabona.

And here’s the full video with a touch of commercialism and a few indifferent Rojo efforts.
