Man Utd winger Di Maria admits he needs to get stronger

Manchester United winger Angel di Maria admits he's having to adjust to the physical demands of playing in England.

Di Maria is still recovering from one superb challenge from Michael Duff during Saturday's debut at Burnley.

Even in training, Di Maria has noticed a difference.

"The workouts are more physical than in Spain," he reflected.

"In football here, the players are very physical, very fast and I have to adapt as quickly as possible to do things even better."
