New Old Trafford signing makes it into this incredible list of top 10 biggest transfer deals ever completed.
This summer has proven a hugely expensive one when it comes to transfers, indeed three of this updated list of the ten most costly signings occurred in the space of the past month.
World Cup hero James Rodriguez moved to Real Madrid, Luis Suarez completed his switch to Barcelona and now Angel Di Maria has moved to Man United.
This influx of deals means that Fernando Torres’s £50m move to Chelsea and David Luiz’s move to PSG for the same fee, don’t even warrant a mention.
10. Radamel Falcao (Altetico Madrid to AS Monaco) £51m
Colombian has scored goals aplenty in Portugal and Spain and started well in Ligue 1 before an injury curtailed his efforts last term. Now back to full fitness.
9. Edinson Cavani (Napoli to PSG) £55m
104 goals in three seasons in Naples earned the Uruguayan a big move to the French capital.
8. Kaka (AC Milan to Real Madrid) £56m
Arguably the Brazilian never truly hit the heights at the Bernabeu, moved back to the San Siro four years later.
7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter Milan to Barcelona) £59m
The cost of this deal was heavily weighted with Samuel Eto’o’s move in the opposite direction.
6. Angel di Maria (Real Madrid to Man United) £59.7m
Argentine becomes the subject of the most expensive British transfer fee.
5. James Rodriguez (AS Monaco to Real Madrid) £63m
A fine World Cup display led to the Colombian moving to the Spanish capital.
4. Neymar (Santos to Barcelona) £71.5m
Brazilian still finding his feet at the Nou Camp but we wouldn’t bet against him delivering the goods in a big way.
3. Luis Suarez (Liverpool-Barcelona) £75m
Anfield side opted to cash-in on the Uruguayan after his third, and hopefully final, biting offence.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United-Real Madrid) £80m
This deal looks a bargain considering the Portuguese international’s phenomenal return of 255 goals in 250 appearances for Real Madrid.
1. Gareth Bale (Tottenham-Real Madrid) £86m
Welshman has proven an instant success since moving to the Bernabeu and expect the former Spurs man to take it up a notch in 2014/15.
