Manchester United have signed winger Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £59.7m.
The Argentine winger had a medical in Manchester on Tuesday and has signed a five-year deal.
Di Maria – described as “world-class” by United boss Louis van Gaal – is likely to make his debut on Saturday against Burnley in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old said United were “the only club that I would have left Real Madrid for”.
The fee eclipses the £50m Chelsea paid Liverpool for striker Fernando Torres in 2011.
Di Maria added: “Louis van Gaal is a fantastic coach with a proven track record of success and I am impressed by the vision and determination everyone has to get this club back to the top – where it belongs. I now just cannot wait to get started.”
