To be honest we payed 42m for Ozil and in his first season we all know he did not shine as expected, the same is with Di maria i think.I really like Di Maria since his madrid days.last seaon, he started really great but faded as the season pregressed.The guy is the third best assist in epl last season and scored 4 goals.And their is all those burgular incident, i am sure that must unsettle him a bit.Ozil has a better season than his debut season, I think the same true for Di Maria.Even though he is playing for Man U, I think he is class.
