Man Utd winger Di Maria: I NEED Champions League football

Manchester United winger Angel di Maria admits he's missing the Champions League this season.

The Argentina international became the most expensive British signing of all time when United paid Real Madrid around £60m for his services in August.

Di Maria told the Manchester Evening News: "I miss Champions League football.

"We will have to do our best this season so that we qualify for next year's tournament.

"It won't be easy. But some weeks ago we were seventh or eighth in the table, and now we are fourth. So we have to keep on working.

"The thing we aim for the most is qualifying for the Champions League, which is what this club deserves. I also want to win titles, but I am aware that we will have to go step by step, since the manager and some of the players are new."
