According to the Daily Mail, the former United right-back felt the two new-boys could form a ‘devastating’ partnership on the Red Devils’ left-hand side, but has been left disappointed by their form, particularly £60m Di Maria.
“I fully expected Di Maria and Luke Shaw to form a devastating partnership down the left flank and, even at close to £60m, I had no thoughts whatsoever that his signing was a risk,” he said.
“He has come to United when he did not want to leave Madrid, has suffered the trauma of a burglary, and started to work for a new manager while playing in a team that is still in a ‘storm’ phase of development.”
