Angel Di Maria staying at Manchester United

27-year-old midfielder Angel Di Maria is planning next season already, despite having a difficult first campaign with Man Utd. The Argentine has no plans to quit Old Trafford.

Di Maria had been linked with a return to Spain, but it is apparent that the British transfer record breaking midfielder will be at United next season.

Di Maria said: "I have just finished my first season playing for Manchester United. Now I will play the Copa America and then I will move back to Manchester for next season and do my best there.

"It was a hard season for me. I think it was hard because it was another country and another league, and this league is harder than the Spanish one.

"So, I couldn't adapt myself as I wanted to. La Liga and the Premier League are completely different. The Premier League is physically stronger.

"It was not easy at all. I ended playing few minutes. Under Van Gaal I played in lots of positions until he decided to bench me.

"I think I did a good job, though. I finished second in assists and I scored some goals, so I definitely think I did well in my first season at Manchester United."
