Man Utd Transfers: 10 Signings To Save Louis Van Gaal's Summer

2. Angel Di Maria

A second option to fix United's lacklustre wing this season is Angel di Maria. Louis van Gaal has inherited a squad from Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes that is woefully inadequate in the wide areas and the capture of di Maria would instantly improve the Reds in this department. United have been linked with the Argentina star for much of the summer and were impressed as the Real Madrid man helped his side to 'La Decima' - a tenth European crown - before inspiring his country to the World Cup final this summer. Di Maria scored four La Liga goals last season - the same as Young, Nani, Valencia and Zaha combined - but also provided an amazing 18 league assists. He would certainly add some much-needed creativity to United's midfield van Gaal is keen on bringing him to Old Trafford this summer, but faces competition from French moneybags Paris Saint-Germain. Recent transfer speculation claims United are prepared to offer the speedy South American wages of £120,000-a-week to keep him out of the clutches of PSG and van Gaal should pay whatever it takes to convince him to move to the Theatre of Dreams.
