Angel DI Maria : We are ready for Liverpool

“We are all aware that a number of big games are just around the corner, and the season will be decided by these fixtures,"

"We know all about these upcoming games and we have been thinking and talking about them for quite some time now. We've known that everything would be at stake over this final period of the season.”

"Everyone at the club is 100 per cent confident, we know we want to get back into the Champions League and that we want to be fighting it out. We'll battle hard right to the end of the season. From what I know of the club, United always fight right to the end and that’s what we’re going to do."

Louis van Gaal : About Angel Di Maria Role

"He played in the 4-4-2 in the left midfield position, but in the 3-5-2 he does not play so much because he has been injured," 

"Then he came back and I tried him as a striker because we also need pace in that position. We have to stretch the pitch – that is an important aspect of a striker, that he can stretch the pitch. Then you make the pitch bigger and your midfielders can play in a bigger space and play a better positional game than ever.

"So I tried that – I had to try it because I didn't have the preparation at the beginning of the season [Di Maria joined in late August]."

"It is very important that the players are comfortable. I would like them to feel more comfortable, but we have to do our preparation in the season so we are doing a lot of things during the matches," he explained."

"Of course it is very important to win all your games but that is not possible in the Premier League. We have had a fantastic run of results, though, except Southampton at home, and up to now I am pleased. We are going the right way."

Angel Di Maria : About FIFPro World XI honour

“It was a privilege and an honour to be named in the FIFPro World XI at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Zurich on Monday,”
“To be named among the world’s elite players is truly humbling.

“Since I was a young boy, all I have ever wanted to do is play football, so to receive awards like this is an added bonus. It was a great night and I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me.”

"From the start of the season to now, you can see we've grown,"
"We weren't great at the beginning but we've started getting a few victories under our belts.

“There are some people saying that we're not playing in a particularly good style or that it's not the old Manchester United - but it's not. We're beginning something new here. We've got a new style, we've got a new manager and we're all working hard to make sure we're putting Manchester United back where it belongs."

Louis Van Gaal : About Game against Yeofil - FA Cup

"It's always difficult to play against such teams,"

"They gave us not so much time and every ball came under pressure. I have lot of respect for the players and coach of Yeovil Town - it was not so easy for us."

"In the second half, we had a little bit more time and space, we played better and were more patient,"

"We kept the ball better also and, because of that, we could score the winning goal."

"We dominated the game, more so in the second half. They had one chance from a set-piece, but we were organised and Angel Di Maria cleared it away. It's just simple organisation. I think they maybe had one more chance after a mistake from one of my players, but that's it."

About herrera's Goal
“It was class, and not his first from outside the box. It had a little bit of luck, but you need that, I'm very happy for him.”
