BRITISH record signing Angel di Maria has joined Manchester United to win the Champions League and help get them back to being the leading team in England.
Di Maria has arrived with the Manchester club in a state of turmoil, just one point from their opening to Premier League games, as well as being dumped out of the League Cup by League One side MK Dons 4-0 on Tuesday night.
But his £59.7 million signing from Real Madrid has lifted the fans’ spirits and the Argentinian hopes he can restore United back to the pinnacle of European football.
