Di Maria willing to change Image

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal said the
winger must change his style if he is to be a
regular starter and his international coach believes
he will do so
Argentina coach Gerardo Martino says Angel Di
Maria is willing to "change his image" in a bid to
be a success at Manchester United.
The winger has been linked with a move away
from Old Trafford less than a year after joining the
club, following a difficult first season in the Premier
League.

The former Real Madrid man made a fine start to
life in Manchester but hasn't scored a league
goal since October and ended the campaign on the
bench.
However, Di Maria himself has revealed he will
remain at the club and Martino has backed him to
adapt next season.
"Speaking about Angel, these kind of decisions are
personal," Martino told a news conference ahead of
his side's friendly against Bolivia on Saturday.
"It's hard to give an opinion and help him. It has
to be decided by him and his family.
"I can tell that taking into account the kind of
player we're talking about, there's no doubt that he
has pride and will to improve.
"It's logical, he wants to offer his best
performances at Manchester United. He had a
season when the ending was not good, but his
beginning was really good.
"His form went from high to low, that's clear. He
knows that and is willing to change this
image. Whatever makes him happy, we will be by
his side."
Martino said he felt the current Argentine era was
nearing an end, with six players in his 23-man
squad 30 or older.
"I'll say this one more time [about winning the
Copa], the squad is really good and we have lots of
chances and the will [to win]," he added.
"They realise that time is running out and their
possibilities of winning a title with the national
team are disappearing.
"It's a great moment, I hope we can take
advantage of it."
Martino also reserved praise for Carlos Tevez as
the Juventus striker prepares to play in the
Champions League final against Barcelona
"His form is unbeatable, his past season in Serie A
and in the Champions League has been
exceptional."
