Ex-Manchester United hitman Andy Cole believes that Angel di Maria has already proven he is a special talent, despite having only just joined the Premier League club.
Di Maria cost the Red Devils a British record transfer fee of £59.7m to sign from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
He has quickly adapted to life in the Premier League and Manchester United fans voted the Argentina winger their player of the month in September.
Cole believes Di Maria is top quality and is already showing as much on the pitch.
"I'll be honest, the only person I've seen come to Manchester United and make such a good start was Dwight Yorke", he told Manchester United's site.

"I think he scored two goals on his home debut and another goal in the game after that.
"You look at that, you take it, you get on with it and enjoy the pressure.
"He has played so well and given a little bit of spark. It's what you always want when you come for that kind of money, everyone is expecting something special and he's done just that."
