Manchester United have completed the signing of Real Madrid ace Angel Di Maria, who becomes the most expensive signing in Premier League history.
The Argentina international, who can play across the frontline and in midfield, moves to Old Trafford in a deal worth £59.7 million and is now the fifth-costliest player ever.
The 26-year-old, whom United hope can galvanise a squad who have picked up just a single point from their opening two league matches, has signed a five-year contract worth close to the £300,000-per-week earned by skipper Wayne Rooney.
Accounting for wages, add-ons, bonuses and signing-on fees, the total cost of the deal could rise to as much as £150m.
Di Maria completed his medical on Tuesday, having arrived at Carrington with his entourage late in the morning, while his agent had several hours of sit-down talks with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward in the afternoon to thrash out the final details of the contract.
