He has taken to life in England like a duck to water

Some players take a fair bit of time to adjust to life in a different league – and it took Di Maria a little while to become used to life in Spain.

In England however, he seems to have taken to life like a duck to water and to say hit the ground running does not quite cover it.

Di Maria was thrown in at the deep end playing the likes of Burnley – and despite drawing a fair amount of fouls, he has simply brushed it off and gotten on with it.
