The Argentine winger was in scintillating form on his Old Trafford debut, Manchester United beat QPR 4-0.
With Angel di Maria still to learn English, Juan Mata was asked to step in as interpreter as Geoff Shreeves interviewed them for Sky Sports after a resounding victory.
Both players were on the scoresheet – as well as Wayne Rooney and Ander Herrera – as United dominated QPR from start to finish.
Judging by this interview, if di Maria learns to speak English half as well as his Spanish team-mate he’ll be doing very well indeed.
Geoff Shreeves did ask the former Real Madrid star if he meant his first goal for the club – a direct free-kick that evaded everyone to fly in past Robert Green – with the response, inevitably, coming in the universal language of ‘evasive footballer speak.’
