Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, who is currently the club’s assistant manager, has described Angel Di Maria as an exciting player, as reported by the Daily Star.

The acquisition of Di Maria towards the end of the transfer window broke the record outlay for a British side, with Man Utd paying Real Madrid £59.7 million to sign him.

The Argentinian maestro has settled in exceptionally since moving to the Old Trafford side, justifying his huge price tag.

Since moving, the 26 year old has scored three goals and provided several assists for his team mates.

Two of his goals were key, with the strikes against West Ham and Everton both contributing heavily to important home wins.

Giggs, who knows a bit about exceptional midfield play, has said that he loves working with and watching Di Maria play.

He said: “You don’t need to do a lot with him.

“He’s that sort of player, he’s a free spirit. He will take you from box to box really quickly and he will create and score goals.

“He gets bums off seats and he excites me. He’s the kind of player you love to watch.”

Di Maria was only part of an extended effort to improve the squad this summer, with the club spending £150 million on players.
