Man Utd No2 Giggs: Di Maria doesn't need coaching. He's a free spirit

Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs says Angel di Maria is so good he doesn't need coaching. The former Real Madrid winger is set to take part in his first Manchester derby on Sunday at Manchester City.

Giggs says the 26-year-old's talent means he's treated like a 'free spirit' by manager Louis van Gaal.

Giggs said: "You don't need to do a lot with him.

"He's that sort of player, he's a free spirit. He will take you from box to box really quickly and he will create and score goals.

"He gets bums off seats and he excites me. He's the kind of player you love to watch."
