2. Angel Di Maria
United also need a new winger this summer considering the likes of Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia and Nani were completely ineffectual last term and shadows of their former selves. Young is going backwards, Valencia hasn't been the same player since breaking his ankle and Nani is a constant and consistent frustration - never threatening to live up to his potential and perhaps never will. The arrival of Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace should hopefully improve things and the Ivory Coast-born starlet has enjoyed an impressive pre-season. But United also need someone of proven quality - someone like Angel Di Maria. Di Maria, the Real Madrid wideman, enjoyed a reasonably successful season at the Bernabeu last term, making 52 overall appearances and netting 9 times. But the speedy Argentine could fall victim to Real's pursuit of Gareth Bale, according to the
Express. In May, the newspaper alleged Real were preparing to offload the 25-year-old along with Gonzalo Higuain to facilitate a big-money move for the Wales international. Higuain has already gone to Napoli and Di Maria could be next in line to be sold if the speculation proves to be more than half accurate. United could be waiting in the wings though could face stiff competition from French moneybags Paris Saint-Germain.
