Manchester United broke their transfer record last summer to sign Argentina winger Angel di Maria from Real Madrid in a deal worth almost £60m.
The 27-year-old did not enjoy the best debut season in England. In fact, he flopped so badly that it has been reported that the Red Devils may even consider selling him during the transfer window.
Despite these rumours, Di Maria remains a very popular player among United fans, partly because he works very hard, but also because the Old Trafford faithful know he is world class and just needs time to settle.
Many of those United fans stayed up late to watch Argentina play Jamaica at the Copa America last night.
Argentina stuttered to a 1-0 win, but Di Maria played pretty well.
Pretty well, not amazingly well.
However, he still did enough to trend worldwide on Twitter, thanks largely to United fans getting a bit overexcited at this assist…
Check out the reaction below…
