Some incredible stories have been broken today in the national papers, with most media outlets focussing on the future of Manchester United’s record signing Angel Di Maria. It is being reported that the Argentine attacker’s time at United may be up after a difficult start to life at Old Trafford and today’s press have been speculating which clubs are in for him and who could replace him. Di Maria showed signs of his talent early in the season, but since an attempted burglary on his home back in January his form has significantly dropped off. Now the United star’s future looks in jeopardy with the Red Devils apparently looking at replacements. Elsewhere, it looks like the press think United will invest in a striker this summer, as well as further cementing defensive midfield and moving on some fringe players who currently aren't in the first team picture.

5. Memphis Depay
