Argentina 6 Paraguay 1: Man United heroes to meet Arsenal great in Copa America final

TWO goals from Manchester United's Angel Di Maria helped Argentina romp to victory over Paraguay and book their place in the Copa America final.

Argentina now face Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez's Chile in the show-piece finale, after they put their opponents to the sword in a stunning second half display.

United defender Marcos Rojo put them ahead after just 15 minutes, firing home Lionel Messi's free kick.

PSG star Javier Pastore finished off a superb crisp counter to make it two but Lucas Barrios drew one back for Paraguay just before the break.

But after half time, Argentina turned on the style and Di Maria netted twice in just six minutes to all but kill off the contest.

Manchester City star Sergio Aguero and Napoli's Gonzalo Higuian scored late on to complete the rout and send the 1993 champions through.
