The former Real Madrid star had a disastrous one year in England after making a British record move but has been revitalised in France and has hailed the methods of current boss Blanc, who he credits for an impressive campaign which has seen him score nine league goals and produce 11 assists from 24 games.
“I started a game in one position, then the next game in another,” he continued on his year at United. “I scored goals playing in one position, then suddenly the next game I was picked to play in a different position.
“I think this also didn’t help me settle. It’s up to the manager to decide where and how every player should play, but I think that the player should be comfortable in that position and adapt to it.
“That is what I am doing here and I’m very thankful to the manager for it. From the beginning he was clear where he wanted to play me and has never changed his mind.
“He gave me total freedom to move where I need to move. I’m very happy here and it wasn’t the case over there.”
Di Maria will be involved for Paris Saint German in the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League when they play premier league outfit Manchester City.
