British media Monday night said the Old Trafford club are expected to announce the signing Tuesday and will shatter the previous British record fee of $82.9 million paid by Chelsea to sign Spain striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool in 2011, reports Xinhua.
Di Maria, capped 52 times, could make his debut as early as Saturday against newly promoted side Burnley.
United have failed to win their first two matches of the Premier League season, first losing to Swansea and then drawing 1-1 against Sunderland.
