Louis van Gaal: "I like Angel di Maria as a player"

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal reveals his fondness for Real Madrid attacker Angel di Maria.

Louis van Gaal has revealed his fondness for Angel di Maria as the Real Madrid attacker seemingly moves closer to joining Manchester United.

Di Maria is expected to join the former Premier League champions in the coming week, with a figure in the region of £64m agreed between United and Madrid.

Following United's 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday, Van Gaal also said that he 'likes' Lionel Messi and Arturo Vidal.

"I like Di Maria as a player, but I also like Messi & Vidal. We cannot always bring every player to Manchester United," he told Sky Sports News.

United have picked up just one point from their first two league games of the season.
