Di Maria Linked With Old Trafford Move - Why Real Madrid Star Would Be Perfect For Manchester United

Real Madrid are set for a huge summer of potential incomings and outgoings, with plenty of names that can be assigned to each list. Radamel Falcao, Toni Kroos and Luiz Gustavo are dominating the incomings, while Alvaro Morata, Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira are dominating the outgoings. Whatever happens at Madrid, it is almost guaranteed that whoever they sell will be replaced with quality. Manchester United are hoping to do the same thing, as they have already bought Luke Shaw to replace Alexander Buttner, as well as Ander Herrera to help ease their midfield troubles.

The Red Devils' next signing could involve a Real Madrid star moving to Old Trafford to replace a departing Portuguese winger. Nani's future at United has been in doubt for some time now, and it finally looks as though it is coming to an end. The Daily Star have reported that a possible replacement is Angel Di Maria. The Real Madrid winger has had his future called into question, despite his very underrated season at the new kings of Europe.

It would be stupid for Madrid to sell Di Maria, but if it does happen then it will greatly benefit United, who are looking for a more effective winger than Nani. Di Maria has had a slightly disappointing World Cup, despite him scoring the winning goal in Argentina's victory over Switzerland to get them to the quarter-finals.

However, the Argentine was excellent for Real Madrid last season and that is why United are interested. The man of the match performance in the Champions League final summed up exactly why he is so highly rated. He is devastatingly good on the ball and often causes havoc for any defence. The 26-year-old would be a superb team-mate for Juan Mata, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, as he would provide the side with the pace they lack. That pace can win them games.
