Man Utd youngster Blackett: We 'stop and stare' at Di Maria's brilliance

Tyler Blackett has revealed that Manchester United players are often left stunned by Angel Di Maria's dazzling skills.

The Argentine winger has made an immediate impact at Old Trafford since his £59.7million summer move from Real Madrid with three goals and three assists in five Premier League matches.

Di Maria has scored some brilliant goals already in his United career and his genius is not only reserved for the playing pitch with Blackett suggesting he pulls out some top-quality skills at training.

"He's been amazing," the young defender told the Manchester Evening News.

"He's one of the world's best players and the things that he does in training really make us stop and stare.

"The dribbling, the close control, these are things that a lot of players would like to have, but that not everybody's got. He really is special."
