Keen Manchester United fans will have to wait a little longer before getting their new Angel Di Maria shirts printed – after the club’s official shop ran out of the letter ‘R’.

The Argentina international will have a medical with The Red Devils on Monday ahead of his £64m transfer from Real Madrid, with the winger set to take on the number 7 jersey once he completes his move to the English giants.

However, United supporters who travelled to Old Trafford to get Di Maria’s name printed on their shirts on Bank Holiday Monday were left disappointed after a sign outside the official club store informed fans that there were no ‘R’ letters left in black print.



But, United fans need not fear.


We’re guessing that with Di Maria set to be confirmed as a new Red Devils player within the next few days, United’s club store will make sure they have every letter – and especially ‘R’ – re-stocked as quickly as possible.
