Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo says former teammate Angel di Maria is the right No7 for Manchester United. The Old Trafford giants have lacked genuine superstar quality in the four years since they sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for a then world-record £80million.
Ronaldo said: "Angel has had an unbelievable impact on United already.
"He is a fantastic player and is going to be amazing for them in the future.
"You have already seen with his attacking play and goals that he will be a big star for them.
"I have been in touch with Angel a few times since he joined United. He is my friend and we have sent text messages and spoken.
"I had six fantastic years in Manchester. It was a great moment for me and my career to be there, and I learned a lot. It is one of the biggest and best clubs in the world, and I know Angel will be a big player there too.
"I was so happy at Manchester United and so will Angel be. I am supporting him and wishing him the best."
