Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confessed his liking for Benfica winger Angel Di Maria.
The 22-year-old Argentina international has been strongly linked with a new challenge in the summer, with a host of clubs across Europe monitoring his situation.
Mancini is believed to be an admirer of Di Maria's qualities, having been spotted at Anfield during Benfica's Europa League tie against Liverpool earlier this month.
The Italian coach has now joined City's technical director, Mike Rigg, in praising Di Maria, saying: "Di Maria is a good player and, in the future, we'll see."
