Not a very tough challenge given that as great as Di Maria was, he has never been the best at either of those things. De Bruyne for example is better at both.

Will leave it to the scouts to find the deals, we should have those instead of relying on 34 year olds on huge contracts while apparently trying to focus on youth and reduce the wage bill.
Liverpool signed Luis Diaz. Milan signed Leao. RBL signed Nkunku. Roma, and Liverpool, signed Salah. We signed Cuadrado and Chiesa. Madrid signed Vinicius. Etc.
It's not like wingers don't exist. A player like Di Maria should be a complement if anything. But we let go of a player in his prime in Dybala, of a young talent in Kulu, to add a 34 year old winger to our other 34 year old winger.
Cuadrado - Di Maria has to be the oldest pair of wingers in football.
I really hope that we sign another winger too then if we must have Di Maria, and that it's a young player.
