United find their Angel of the North

AAt last, at Manchester United, one of the least valued superstars in world football - if there can be such a creature - may just have found the place where he can be truly, madly, deeply appreciated.
The standing ovation which Di Maria soaked up from his new Old Trafford admirers after his thrilling man of the match contribution in United's crushing defeat of QPR on Sunday had a touch of reverential rediscovery about it.
It felt like the Theatre of Dreams had found a buccaneer with the pace, invention and elan which seemed to have deserted the place of late, a man worthy of inheriting the red No 7 shirt previously donned by the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo.
More than that, you could sense on this breakthrough day for manager Louis Van Gaal the possibility that Di Maria, with all the abundant gifts that make him at nearly £60 million the most expensive signing in English football, may have found a club where he could again become the king, not some undervalued courtier.
