Angel Di Maria Set To Break British Transfer Record In Manchester Move

“It now looks certain that he will leave Real Madrid and become a Manchester United player. The final meetings will take place at the beginning of next week,” he said.

“So advanced, in fact, are the negotiations that it has already been agreed that Di Maria will wear the number seven shirt, worn in the past by no lesser players than David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Bryan Robson.”


“As soon as Di Maria knew of Manchester United’s interest he was very excited about the possibility of coming to Old Trafford. At first Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in singing him and said they were prepared to meet his wage demands but the deal offered by United was much more interesting to him.”
