The sports retailer has named the Manchester United ace as the most popular player in England's top flight based on the number of football shirts sold with star's names on the back.

Di Maria joined United from Real Madrid for a British
record £59.7million last summer, but has underwhelmed so

The Argentine winger has had to deal with a break-in at

9.59 per cent of all shirts sold having Di Maria's name on the
back.

cent following his £35m move from Barcelona last summer.

cent, edging out Chelsea flyer Eden Hazard (2.10 per cent)
and Red Devils striker Wayne Rooney (2.09).
