Di Maria studying Man Utd history of famous No7s

Manchester United ace Angel di Maria has been swotting up on the club's history.

Di Maria has been given the iconic No.7 shirt made famous by some of the greatest stars in United's history.

The likes of Best, Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo wore the shirt with distinction and now Di Maria wants to keep the tradition going.

Di Maria visited the Manchester United museum at Old Trafford this week to learn more about the legendary shirt he now wears.

He said: "It was great to visit the museum and learn about the club's history.

"It's an honour to wear the number seven shirt that legends like Best, Cantona, Beckham and Ronaldo did.

"I hope one day to also be considered a hero for the fans, just like they are."
