Given how Manchester United struggled last season and still hasn't steadied the ship this campaign, Red Devils fans are naturally desperate for things to finally start clicking for Louis Van Gaal's men. The Premier League giants spent quite a bit this summer as they are keen to make sure that the 2013/2014 disaster was nothing but a fluke, notably the massive and record-breaking signing of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid.
The Argentinian star has quickly adapted to life in England and has already scored some great goals, which, of course, fans will be hoping to see plenty more of as the team seeks to make a return to the Champions League for next season.
Well, he did just that in the first half, giving them a slim lead over Everton and of course, fans and the media went wild about the new signing.
Here's how Twitter reacted:
Angel Di Maria is now Man Utd's joint-top scorer (3) in the Premier League this season with Rooney. He's been superb. pic.twitter.com/FQAfroFMS7

Angel Di Maria wants to know when everyone else in the Premier League is going to start trying.
— Brooks Peck (@BrooksDT) October 5, 2014 Most foreign players take time to adapt to PL football, but if Di Maria is still adapting then heaven help his future opponents.

It takes a lot for a player to be worth £60 million. Di Maria, though.

Di Maria was such a panic buy. Lol.
