Angel di Maria insists he will be at Manchester United next season despite admitting the Premier League is much harder than he anticipated.
The Argentina winger joined United from Real Madrid for a club record £60million last summer but has struggled to make an impression for much of the season following a positive start.
But, amid rumours United may cut their losses and offload Di Maria to Paris Saint-Germain, the player has confirmed he will be staying.

Angel di Maria has confirmed he will be a Manchester United player next season despite rumours of a move

The Argentine has endured a difficult first season and admitted adapting has been tougher than expected
He said: ‘I have just finished my first season playing for Manchester United.
‘Now I will play the Copa America and then I will move back to Manchester for next season and do my best there.’
As a debut season return of four goals and 12 assists attests to, Di Maria has been unable to have the same kind of influence on the pitch as he enjoyed at Real.
But the 27-year-old says he will return to Premier League action stronger and wiser in August.

Di Maria scored four goals in his debut season, including this one against QPR back in September

He also found the net in the FA Cup third round win over Yeovil Town and made a ‘heart’ celebration

Di Maria is currently preparing for the Copa America finals in Chile with his country Argentina

He said: ‘It was a hard season for me. I think it was hard because it was another country and another league, and this league is harder than the Spanish one.
‘So, I couldn’t adapt myself as I wanted to. La Liga and the Premier League are completely different. The Premier League is physically stronger.
‘it was not easy at all. I ended playing few minutes.’
After being a regular starter in United’s team during his first few months at United, Di Maria became a bit-part player after Louis van Gaal stumbled upon his best system without him.
