Manchester United legend Paul Scholes sets new signing Angel di Maria an ambitious goal target of "20 to 25 goals" this term.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has called for Angel di Maria to score "20 to 25 goals" this season.

The Argentina winger became the most expensive signing in British football history when he arrived from Real Madrid for £59.7m earlier this week, and Scholes thinks that the former Los Blancos star needs to hit the ground running.

He told The Independent: "For the amount of money being paid for Di Maria I would ideally want an attacking player who can score 20 to 25 goals a season. His record says he will not get that many, but that he will create a lot.

"I don't think Di Maria is going to play as a wing-back in a 3-5-2 system. I could see him playing wide in a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1 formation. But if Louis van Gaal is sticking with 3-5-2 I could see Di Maria playing off Robin van Persie and Rooney as a third striker."

United have spent around £135m this summer on Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera, Marcos Rojo and Di Maria.
