Manchester United fans are looking pleased here in the Football Transfer Tavern after Metro claimed that the Red Devils have finally been given permission to sign Angel Di Maria.

The £50 million forward has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer and now it seems that he will be joining Louis van Gaal after Carlo Ancelotti and the Champions League winners agreed to let him leave.

United have beaten off competition from Paris Saint Germain to secure Di Maria and as one of our punters notes, how they can deem the Argentine too expensive yet splash the same amount of cash on a defender who cannot even do his job is fathomless to us!

Di Maria himself is keen to make the move and knows that a team like Manchester United not only need him but will make him their star man – and that is simply not something that would have ever happened at the Bernabeu.

Manchester United fans: Is £50 million a fair amount for a player like Di Maria? Do you think he is a world class addition to your side? Let us know your thoughts below.
