Record signing Angel Di Maria explains his decision to move to the Premier League. He says: "Manchester United have already won many trophies and are a very big team. I have come to help raise the game and become an important team once again. I want to win many trophies with them.

"I'm very pleased to play for Manchester United. I like the team and I wanted to come here even though they're not playing in the Champions League. I want to help the team get into the Champions League. I'm pleased with the manager for choosing me to come to Manchester United."

More from Louis van Gaal on Angel Di Maria: "I have said that I only buy players that can improve our philosophy. I have spoken already about his way of playing in the interests of the team that I like.

"He fits in our philosophy and I can change the system with him and maybe we will do that in the future, maybe in a match. At Real Madrid he didn't only play as a winger but also in midfield so that is also a reason why we are convinced he shall succeed."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal describes what he expects from record signing Angel Di Maria.

"I'm very pleased that we can have such a class player in our squad," says Van Gaal. "But we have many class players and for me it's important he is a team player. That is what I am liking in Di Maria.

"Not only class, he can accelerate the game for us and can also play in the interest of the team. That's why we have chosen this player and I hope he shall give us good results but we cannot expect after two days' training sessions that he is the miracle. No, you have to work for the miracle and he knows that."

"Wayne Rooney's appointment as England captain is the right choice by manager Roy Hodgson - not least because of a glaring lack of obvious alternatives for a post that still retains great significance and prestige.

"England's World Cup captain Steven Gerrard and deputy Frank Lampard have vacated the international stage, while the claims of goalkeeper Joe Hart and defender Gary Cahill could not come close to someone of Rooney's status and importance."
