“I never wanted to join Manchester United” Di Maria

Angel Di Maria has admitted he never wanted to join Manchester United. Di Maria joined Paris Saint-Germain in a £44.3m deal from United in the summer, just a year after moving to Old Trafford from Real for £59.7m in 2014. The Argentina international recently criticised United boss Louis van Gaal over his way of working, admitting it made him want to leave Old Trafford.

My intention was always to stay at Madrid. I don’t really know what happened on the inside of the deal – these are things that representatives deal with. It happens in football. My move to PSG could have happened before this summer but it didn’t for financial reasons and I ended up going to United. In the summer I had the chance to go there again and I could not say no. I started very well but then I had problems with people at the club, I started being left on the bench, then my home was robbed. It all just made me want to get out of there as quickly as possible.
