Angel Di Maria on the verge of signing for Manchester United
According to reports coming out of Spain, United have had a bid in the region of around £48-56million for Di Maria accepted by Real Madrid and it has been suggested that the winger’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is set to soon arrive in England to finalize the deal.
It has also emerged that Di Maria is set to receive a wage package in the region of around £200,000-per-week and that the winger will be handed the iconic number 7 jersey, previously donned by United greats such as Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Bryan Robson and Cristiano Ronaldo among others.

Di Maria had been linked with a move away from Real Madrid all summer, with the duo of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United believed to be involved in a head to head battle against each other to secure the services of the winger.
PSG recently pulled out of the race to sign Di Maria after deeming the 26-year old too expensive, which paved the way for United to make their move and the Red Devils were handed a further boost in their hopes of signing the Argentine star after Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti publicly revealed this week that the winger had made his mind up to leave the Santiago Bernanbeu.

While the quoted price for Di Maria certainly seems a bit inflated, Manchester United are desperate for a marquee signing to lift the glum mood currently surrounding the club and the arrival of the Argentine superstar will certainly go a long way in doing exactly that.
Di Maria spent four fruitful seasons at Real Madrid since his arrival to the club from Benfica back in 2010 and perhaps his greatest moment in a Whites’ shirt was his wonderful performance in the Champions League final last year, where he put in a man of the match performance to help his side to victory over Atletico Madrid.
