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

3. He Boasts International Class

While he was rising through the ranks in Rosario, Di Maria was also making waves for Argentina's youth sides. We already know he was a part of the team that won the Under-20 World Cup in 2007, and he scored three goals throughout the tournament. A number of the players in the youth set up at the time - including Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi - would join Di Maria in representing Argentina at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They won gold too, with Di Maria scoring a chipped goal in the Gold Medal Match win over Nigeria. Later that year, he would make his senior debut against Paraguay. 'Noodle' is now an integral part of the national side, boasting over fifty caps to date. He was one of the stand out stars of the World Cup earlier this summer, but his heart was to break after learning he would miss the final clash with Germany through injury. Argentina lost the match, but Di Maria recently exacted a modicum of revenge on the new world champions. He made three classic assists and scored a neat goal himself in Dusseldorf, during the most recent international break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5V-6CCY9U
