10 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Angel Di Maria

6. He LOVES Tattoos

It's a popular trend today for top footballers to spend top dollar on some serious ink. Di Maria will join fellow new Argentinian signing Marcos Rojo in sporting a sleeve over the course of this campaign, though he's just missed fellow tat fan Alexander Buttner - you know, that Dutch left footed kid who was never very good? But the fascination started just before he left Argentina to join Benfica in 2007, when he and six of his friends decided to all carry the same phrase on their bodies. Some of the lads needed to be accompanied by their fathers because they were so fresh faced, but the ink reads: 'To be born in El Perdriel was and will be the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life'. Good one, that.
