Angel Di Maria gets 'No 7' tattoo - offering indication future lies at Manchester United
Argentinean adds to his sleeve of ink
Angel Di Maria has offered a strong indication he sees his future at Manchester United by having his shirt number tattooed onto his arm.
After making a promising start, the Argentinean has endured a tough debut season at Old Trafford, seeing his levels drop well below those expected of the most expensive signing in Premier League history.
It's led to speculation that his time as a Manchester United player could be a short one, with rumours he was contemplating a transfer this summer. But his permanent tattoo suggests he could be sticking around a bit longer.
A '7' is the latest addition to his sleeve of tattoos on his left arm, corresponding with the famous Manchester United shirt worn by the likes of David Beckham, George Best and Eric Cantona which he was handed following his £57.9m move from Real Madrid. He wore the 22 jersey at his former club.
Di Maria will hope he can help Manchester United get back to winning ways following their defeat to Chelsea at the weekend in which they lost 1-0. The 27-year-old was a 70th minute substitute.
