'I feel sick' - Manchester United fans fume as Angel Di Maria scores in World Cup final

Manchester United fans have been venting their frustration after Angel Di Maria scored Argentina's second goal of the World Cup final against France.

Lionel Messi opened the scoring from the penalty spot for Argentina, as the South American side took the lead against France in the 23rd minute. The 2018 champions were put under pressure inside the opening half hour and it did not take long before France found themselves two goals down.

Lionel Scaloni's side added a second in the 36th minute, with Di Maria finishing off a superb passing move. Starting from within their own half, Messi cleverly flicked the ball to launch a devastating counter-attack that saw the former United attacker sweep the ball home unmarked at the back post.

As Di Maria's shot hit the back of the net, it did not take long before United fans took to social media to vent their frustration, as they showed their anger at the Argentina star performing at a level that he never managed to reach at Old Trafford.
