Manchester United; Di Maria: I’m At Man Utd Because Of Van Gaal

By -
Manchester United’s record signing, Angel Di Maria, says he signed for the club because of manager Louis van Gaal.

Di Maria joined United for a British transfer record fee of £59.7 million and had a brilliant Old Trafford debut, scoring one goal and assisting one other.

"Van Gaal was really important for me, in order to come here," Di Maria told Perform.

"(He) was one of the first (people) who spoke about bringing me here. The coach always has the last word about the players he wants.

"I am really grateful to him because, thanks (to) him, I am now playing for United.

"I keep trying to improve every day and for that reason I wanted to come here to United. I needed to change my life. I will try my best to play the right way. I will try my best every match and show my arrival at Old Trafford was worthy.

"Manchester United are trying to grow.

"We already know we didn't start the Premier (League) in the right way (but) those things always happen in football."

Di Maria’s Argentina teammate, Marcos Rojo, also joined the Red Devils this summer and the former Real Madrid star expects Rojo to live up to the expectations in England.

"Marcos Rojo (has) shown at the World Cup (that) he is capable," he added.

"He did really well there and he deserved to come here. Hopefully he will be able to improve every day as he did at the World Cup and he will bring a lot of good things to United."

DOYIN ADEOYE assesses the origin of this cultural trait, its effects on individuals and reactions from the public. Although tribal marks are becoming extinct because of the extant laws that forbid parents or anyone from marking a child’s face, tribal marks in the olden days were interesting features used to adorn the faces.

He cancelled his life insurance and ran up debts because he wanted to leave her "with nothing," the hearing was told. Swansea coroner Phillip Rogers recorded a verdict of suicide. Mr Mellin's widow Mirrielle told the hearing she had won a court order the day before her husband's suicide for an extra £100 a week from him to help with the running of the house.
