"Manchester United" coach Louis van Gaal revealed his decision to replace Angel Di Maria after the first half and emphasized that he does not regret it at all.
Last summer, the Argentine, who cost a record 75 million euros to the "Red Devils" team, played a disastrous game against "Sunderland" and was substituted by Adnan Januzaj after the first half.
"First of all, I want to win as a coach. I have to observe and analyze the current situation on the field, so I have to take action anytime that could help us win," the Dutchman said.
"In theory, I always considered and thought that Januzaj could replace Di Maria. After this decision, we played better in the second half and I can't say that I was wrong.
It is difficult not only for Angel but also for other footballers who come here to England's Premier League. The intensity of the game here is much higher than in other countries, so we cannot blame him and we have to give him time," van Gaal concluded.
In the Premier League, A.Di Maria played 17 matches this season and scored only three goals.
