Cape Town - Manchester United's record signing Angel Di Maria has thanked Louis van Gaal for bringing him to Old Trafford.
Signed from Real Madrid for a massive £59.7 million, Di Maria grabbed his first Premiership goal against QPR last weekend.
The 26-year-old Argentine is intent on showing fans that he is worth the price tag according to the Express.
"Van Gaal was really important for me, in order to come here," Di Maria told Perform.
"[He] was one of the first [people] who spoke about bringing me here. The coach always has the last word about the players he wants.
"I am really grateful to him because, thanks [to] him, I am now playing for United.
"I keep trying to improve every day and for that reason I wanted to come here to United.
"I needed to change my life. I will try my best to play the right way. I will try my best every match and show my arrival at Old Trafford was worthy."
