All three of Angel Di Maria's assists have been shots. One of his goals was a cross. #MUFC

why

Too Early to judge, Di Maria has yet to face any team anywhere near the quality of City and Chelsea.

You want us to predict the stats for them this season?

agreed D'Jeezus, im aware i was very lazy and just copied some biased stats, i will add some more favourable ones if an Arsenal fan has any to hand

Di Maria is the better player (currently) I don't think many people will dispute that.

What you cannot do, however, is underestimate the impact Sanchez has had on that Arsenal team. He's is absolutely quality and considering they only paid £35m for him, it's insane. Sanchez's finish against City was absolutely exquisite.

Over the course of the season we'll see if either taper off, given that they wont have a winter break this season, but for the time being just watch, and enjoy. Di Maria gets me off my seat, likewise Sanchez for Arsenal fans. Special players.

There really isn't that much in it.

Bit of a modernism to continue comparing personal stats.

Football is a team game which is a fact so many people overlook.

Di Maria plays for a superior team and club.

What is important is how they fit in and contribute to a team. Final positions at the end of the season will determine who is the better purchase.

Further, of course, both will probably struggle with environmental factors in January/February. Who struggles least remains to be seen.

So far Di Maria has been the better player.

Sanchez is a poor man's Mark Gonzalez, Now he was a player.

Di Maria is freaking class, if only Madrid sold him to us last season instead of coward Ozil

Players like Di Maria, Sanchez are made for this league.Their workrate alongside their technical ability will ensure they're both a hit. They're like carbon copies of Suarez to be honest. Probably not as good as him though.

I see Ozil being sold at some point though. He will continue to get roughed up by other teams.

Di Maria is United's best player, better than Bale.. I see why Ronaldo was upset he left.

Sanchez is just another Arsenal player now.

Same thing we had with Kagawa, on a slightly smaller scale

Too close to call. Better to look at the end of the season. I'd be happy with either player.

Coward is a bit strong Boss is it not?

Is that how you rate him so far - as a coward?

I always thought Ozil was World Class. Such effortless technique. Like a Januzaj-lite player

I rate both more now they have been removed from Messi and Ronaldo's shadows

Thing with Sanchez is that if he having a bad game he will still put in 100% effort with amazing workrate.

When Ozil having a mare he just looks around like a clown and gets outmuscled by the likes of Hazard and Oscar ffs.

Di Maria and Bale are on the same level, James however is not.

posted on 6/10/14

I see Sanchez as a Nani type player.

Clearly has the quality but is inconsistent and makes the wrong decision regularly, ie, passes when he should shoot or vice-versa.

Not strong works at all Shinji.Every game u see him being outmucled and then he just shrugs his shoulders. Its actually quite pathetic now and it is because hes a chicken chit coward.

Just about every other person in the world would say enough is enough and toughen up but not this swan.

his techniques u cant question. his mentality you can.

3 assists from mishit shots, not bad

and gets outmuscled by the likes of Hazard and Oscar ffs.

Hardly bruisers are they.

I'm surprised how much he goes missing. Does Silva do that for City? They're similar players. That Silva has a blinder every time I watch him play.
