Man Utd ace Di Maria: Being handed No7 is huge boost

Manchester United ace Angel di Maria is full of pride wearing the club's No7 shirt.

Di Maria is well schooled over the history of the number.

"It is a source of motivation," he told MUTV. "When you wear a shirt that's been worn by the likes of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, it's something you're always going to be pleased about.

"The fact that the club have chosen to give me that shirt number also gives me a huge confidence boost, so that's why I'm very happy to have this number."
