It must have been a cruel experience for any Manchester United fan turning on their TV sets to find Angel Di Maria curling in a neat finish past Malmo goalkeeper Johan Wiland in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 win over their Swedish opponents on Tuesday night. Cruel because had Di Maria been on the pitch at PSV Eindhoven’s Philips Stadion in Manchester United colours rather than at the Parc des Princes, things would likely have been different today.
United succumbed to a loss against their unfancied Dutch opponents, and were once again toothless in attack, although improvements were vivid.
