Rojo Backs Di Maria To Shine At United

Marcos Rojo has tipped Angel Maria to overcome a difficult first season with Manchester United because he feels his fellow Argentinian is the most talented individual at the club.

Both players are currently engaged in Copa America combat with Argentina facing a semi-final clash with Paraguay on Tuesday night. Tournament hosts Chile await the victors in the final following their 2-1 victory over Peru.

United's record buy Di Maria contributed some memorable moments during his maiden campaign in England and is likely to be high in confidence if he continues to shine in South America.

In an interview published on the official Copa America website, Rojo declared: "For me, the player with the most talent at Manchester United is Angel.

"There are great players at the club but Angel, for me, is one of the best in the team and in the world. It has been a difficult year for him. He had some problems adapting but that’s normal. Any player coming to a new country and a new league has to adapt to the differences and that’s what happens. But I’m sure he will do really well in the months ahead."
