Angel Di Maria has emerged as a top target for Manchester United Football Club.

The 21-year-old Argentine forward is one of the most exciting players in European football, and Benfica know they face a fight to keep hold of the playmaker.

Reports in the Daily Mail claim Sir Alex Ferguson has made Di Maria a top target for the New Year, and is prepared to pay £9million and Nani to land him.

The Portugal winger has failed to settle in England and has often cut a frustrated figure, but he was impressive in his homeland with Sporting Lisbon before moving to Old Trafford.
