According to Red Devils defender Tyler Blackett, Di Maria has Louis van Gaal's squad regularly mesmorised.
United paid a British record £59.7million to sign the 26-year-old from Real Madrid this summer and he has impressed with three goals in his first five games.
And Blackett has revealed Di Maria is just as impressive in training too.
"He's been amazing," Blackett said.
"He's one of the world's best players and the things that he does in training really make us stop and stare.
"The dribbling, the close control, these are things that a lot of players would like to have, but that not everybody's got. He really is special."

Di Maria has taken charge of free-kick duty at United since his switch, but Blackett can also hit a mean set-piece too.
And the young defender hopes to be given the chance to take one by Di Maria later in the campaign.
"Hopefully further on into the season, you'll get to see me take one," Blackett added.
"I'd certainly be happy to if the opportunity came up. For now though, Angel's the expert so I'm just looking up to him."
