Manchester United midfielder Angel Di Maria has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or award and his club took to Twitter to congratulate their summer signing on his achievement.
Di Maria, 26, is lining up against Philipp Lahm, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta and it’s expected that he will compete with them for the major places of first, second and third.
His Man of the Match display in last years Champions League final helped the Bernabeu side achieve their main goal of winning Europe’s biggest crown and he is now hoping to achieve the same with United.
Why a subdued Angel Di Maria was important against Chelsea
The £59million signing became the most expensive player in England after arriving from Madrid and he is far repaying that sum with his goals and assists helping United recover from a poor start.
His nomination doesn’t come as a surprise with his performances also helping Argentina reach the World Cup final and he was rightfully congratulated by his club
Di Maria, 26, will be hoping to continue his good performances when United face Manchester City this Sunday in the sides first major derby clash this season.
Angel Di Maria has three goals in seven PL appearances
