Rooney: Di Maria Worth The Record Fee

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney believes Angel Di Maria will be a superb signing for the club and worth every penny of his record fee.

The Reds striker has trained alongside the former Real Madrid star and is in no doubt the South American can have an immediate impact on the team's fortunes, starting in Saturday's clash at Burnley.

"You could see the qualities he has as, for me, he is the right person for this club," stated Rooney in an exclusive interview with MUTV. "It's great for everybody. It lifts everyone as it shows the intention the club has got to bring in a player of that quality.

"It's a lot of money to spend on one player but he's worth that money. Having seen him in the last couple of days in training, I've seen the quality he has got and he will be a great signing for us. He is great to have in the team."

Rooney admits to being irritated by the side's failure to hit the ground running in the Barclays Premier League but is convinced it is only a matter of time before everything gels.

"Obviously, we've had a bad start to the season but I'm sure with the manager's philosophy for how he wants us to play, as he said, will take time and it's not just going to work from day one," he added. "It will take time and obviously it's frustrating when you're wanting to click straight away. Once it starts working, I'm sure we'll be successful."
