Manchester United’s record breaking signing Angel Di Maria has admitted that he wants to return to Rosario Central before his football career ends, as reported by the Daily Express.

Having moved to the Old Trafford club this summer for a British transfer record breaking fee of £59.7 million, it will come as something of a blow to the club’s fans to hear that a key player is already thinking of a future away from Manchester.

Di Maria has a long association with Central, having joined them at the age of four, but he made only 35 appearances for them before moving to Benfica, who he signed for in 2007.

The 26-year-old has had a key impact since moving to the Red Devils, having scored two goals and provided two assists in only four games since making his move.

Man Utd are set to face Everton at the weekend, and have been boosted by the news that Phil Jones might be fit.

Louis van Gaal has criticised the display of Angel Di Maria against Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, despite the record breaking Manchester United signing having scored and played a role in three of the side’s goals, as reported by the Daily Star.

The 4-0 win against Harry Redknapp’s QPR on Sunday represented Man Utd’s first win of the season.

Prior to the international break, they had struggled to play with any sort of fluidity, even going as far as to lose horribly to MK Dons in the second round of the League Cup. A 4-0 loss there had symbolised the extent to which the club was struggling.

After a huge outlay in the last weeks of the transfer window, however, they played well against QPR, who looked defensively poor and had little going forward.

Despite his key role in the display, however, Van Gaal was not enamoured with Di Maria’s display, saying that he lost the ball too many times.

Van Gaal said: “When you have a part in three goals and make the first goal yourself, then he can’t have played bad.

“But he had a lot of unnecessary losses (of the ball) so we can do better, even Angel Di Maria.

“You can say it is impossible to do better when you prepare three goals and make one yourself.

“But I am a trainer and a coach and reading the game and there are two or three things we need to improve on as a team.”
