Giggs confident Man Utd's Di Maria will come good

Ryan Giggs insists it is only a matter of time before Angel di Maria proves his worth to Manchester United. Di Maria became British football's most expensive signing when he joined United from Real Madrid for £59.7m last August.

The 27-year-old winger has netted only once in 19 games and has been substituted in United's last three Premier League matches.

"I think his confidence is fine. He's a quality player and we'll be looking for him to produce because it is big game after big game now.

"Players get used to different leagues, sometimes quickly and sometimes it takes a bit of time.

"He had a really good start to the season but with players who take risks and who can win games it's always difficult to be consistent because they will try things that other players won't do.

"They're capable of doing that and that's why they're match-winners and the best players."
