The Angel Di Maria transfer carousel continues to turn round and round.

First, Paris Saint-Germain's president noted that the player was far too expensive to purchase. And now, it seems that Manchester United might come away with the biggest prize of the summer.

Di Maria's departure and its effects on Madrid have been duly noted. But his potential worth to Manchester United has not been fully developed.

Di Maria is a terrific attacking player. He plays with tremendous speed and his dribbling is second to none. Just ask Juanfran how he felt after being undressed in extra time of the Champions League final. Di Maria not only sidestepped the defender, but wound up creating the chance that would be converted into the game-winner by Gareth Bale.

The numbers certainly underlie the tremendous performances. He scored four goals in 34 Spanish League matches (27 of which he started) while adding a team-leading 17 assists. All the while he successfully completed 82.1 percent of his passes. But the really brilliant numbers are the key passes. He led the team with an average of 2.7 key passes per game. Isco came in second with 2.2 and Karim Benzema was third with 1.8. His 1.4 dribbles per game was ranked fifth on the team. He also the led the team with 2.1 accurate crosses per game.

To put this into perspective, Di Maria would also lead Manchester United in assists, accurate crosses and key passes per game. No player had more than 10 assists for the team in 2013-14 and none had more than 2.2 key passes per game. Wayne Rooney led the team in assists and with an average of 1.2 key crosses per game.

Obviously, Di Maria's game would provide United with a tremendous offensive lift. But not just because of his numbers last season. Real Madrid was admittedly a superior team in every possible way, but this Manchester United squad was made up of most of the players that won the Premier League in 2012-13 and is likely to bounce back in a huge way this season.

But for Di Maria, the team's style of play suits him beautifully. Madrid tended to play with possession at times, frustrating Di Maria's forward drive and speed. He was at his finest on the counter where he could use his speed and skill to find open space for himself and teammates.

Louis van Gaal is likely to utlize a 5-3-2 or 3-4-3 system at Manchester this year, and both systems rely heavily on wing play. Di Maria could play in the middle in the 5-3-2--he cannot defend to play on the flanks--or he would be a winger in the central four of the second formation. Both formations rely heavily on forward momentum and drive, and should allow Di Maria to play the kind of game that he excels at.

Di Maria does not have the same issues that someone like Cristiano Ronaldo would have upon arriving at the Old Trafford. Ronaldo demands to be the star of the show, and with Rooney and Robin van Persie commanding the spotlight, he could potentially find some tension to overcome.

Di Maria plays with Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at Madrid. He was also the Robin to Lionel Messi's Batman at the World Cup -- that is, before he became irrelevant due to an injury. He is not the kind of guy who wants to be front and center. He does not need that kind of spotlight because his level of play earns it for him. Despite Ronaldo's scoring prowess in 2013-14, one could argue that Di Maria was more consistent and overall more effective that the Portuguese icon. Di Maria was undoubtedly the best player in the Champions League final, and was the main reason for Madrid's victory.

This bodes well for a partnership with the likes of Rooney and Van Persie. But more importantly, it looms large for Manchester United.

Would Di Maria provide Manchester United with a huge boost?
