Angel Di Maria tops Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and City stars in shirt sales

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
far at Old Trafford.

The Argentine winger has had to deal with a break-in at
the house his family were living at in Manchester, as well as
being hampered by injuries and poor form.
But United fans have certainly backed their new boy with
9.59 per cent of all shirts sold having Di Maria's name on the
back.
Second is Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, who came in at 3.8 per
cent following his £35m move from Barcelona last summer.

Chelsea's Diego Costa rounds up the top three with 2.27 per
cent having swapped Atletico Madrid for west London last
year.
United goalkeeper David De Gea came in court with 2.16 per
cent, edging out Chelsea flyer Eden Hazard (2.10 per cent)
and Red Devils striker Wayne Rooney (2.09).

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
