Michael Carrick insists Manchester United teammate Angel di Maria will prove his class.
Carrick has likened Di Maria to club legend Ryan Giggs.
"There are players who have got tricks and can drop the shoulder to go past players, but he is so direct in his play.
"It is almost like Giggsy used to be in many ways. When he picks that ball up he can carry it and change direction pretty quickly, so it is very tough to defend against - especially if he is going through the middle of the park.
"There aren't many players who go through the middle. You get wide players who do it, but you don't see many players dribble through the middle of the pitch."
