Manchester United is delighted to announce that Angel Di
Maria has completed his transfer for a British record fee of
£59.7million. Angel joins on a five-year contract.
Di
Maria, 26, began his career at one of the most prolific youth academies
in Argentinian football, Rosario Central. In 2007, he moved to Europe to
play for Portuguese club Benfica, before signing for Real Madrid in
2010. The Argentina international has 52 caps for his national team,
scoring 10 goals.
Angel Di Maria said: "I am
absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United. I have thoroughly
enjoyed my time in Spain and there were a lot of clubs interested in me,
but United is the only club that I would have left Real Madrid for.
"Louis
van Gaal is a fantastic coach with a proven track record of success and
I am impressed by the vision and determination everyone has to get this
club back to the top – where it belongs. I now just cannot wait to get
started."
Louis van Gaal said: "Angel is a
world-class midfielder but most importantly he is a team player. There
is no doubting his immense natural talent.
"He is a 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."
