Welcome To Manchester United - Angel Di Maria

In the past two hours, Manchester United have completed the signing of Argentina star Angel Di Maria for a British record transfer fee of £59.7 million, on a 5 year contract.
The record was perviously held by Fernando Torres when he moved from Liverpool to Chelsea for £50 million.
The 26 year old is Louis Van Gaal's fourth signing of the summer, increasing their Summer spending to a whopping £131.7 million!

Louis Van Gaal described Di Maria as a, "World class player" and went on to say,

"There is no doubting his immense natural talent. He is tremendously fast and incisive left-footed player who puts fear into the most accomplished defence. His dribbling skills and his ability to take on and beat opponents are a joy to watch. He is an excellent addition to the team."

Van Gaal also referred to him as a,"World class midfielder," and "most importantly he is a team player."

Di Maria started his career at Rosario Central and stayed there from 2005-2007. He then moved to Benfica for around £7 million where he stayed until 2010.
He made 76 appearances and scored 7 goals.
In 2010 Di Maria moved to one of the legendary Spanish giants, Real Madrid where he played 124 games and scored 22.

Now he has moved to Manchester United, and we have no idea what's ahead...

During his incredible club football, he has played for the Argentinian first team since 2008. So far he has played 52 games and scored 10 goals. (up to date as of the 26th August 2014.)
