"I left Madrid through the back door"- Di Maria

Former Real Madrid player, Angel Di Maria has claimed that the Spanish club sold him to Manchester United last year to cover the signings of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, who cost £20m and £63m respectively. Recall that the Argentine moved to Old Trafford for a record fee of £59.7m in August 2014.
He told Guardian in a recent interview that contrary to reports that he was lured with a bigger pay package to England, the 27 year-old who later joined PSG for £44.3m said he didn’t leave for the money.

“They wanted to cover the costs of the great players they had signed that summer. I didn’t leave for money. I wanted to see if I could renew and they didn’t want me to. They wanted to cover the costs of the great players they had signed that summer. I had to leave by the back door. It wasn’t how I would have wanted.” He revealed.

Di Maria on why he left Manchester United, "Life in England was difficult."

Former Manchester United winger, Angel Di Maria has revealed some of the reasons he left the English club barely after a year he joined from Real Madrid for £59.7million. The ex Benfica player who switched to PSG in the summer claimed that his unsettled family was the main reason he moved to France.
He was quoted by the Mirror UK thus:

“Honestly, we were not happy. At the beginning, we were a little. But then things became complicated. Life in England was a bit difficult. It is not easy for a South American. Some people get on fine, and for others it is harder to adapt.”‎

He also stressed that his strained relationship with Van Gaal and the burglary incident in his house prompted his decision to leave.

“I didn’t have a great relationship with the coach, so I think the decision to join Paris was the best solution. After the break-in it wasn’t reasonable to stay. My family wasn’t happy. My daughter was suffering. So it was important to leave. From the little I have seen, our life here in France resembles more the life we led in Spain or Portugal. And at the moment we are 100 percent satisfied.”

His open letter read: 

“​To Manchester United:

“I write this note to thank all the Manchester United family for the great support received during the year I’ve been part of this Club.
“When Manchester United chose me as part of their team I felt extremely honoured because I knew what this Club means and how it trusted me. Nevertheless, I’m aware things didn’t work as we all expected and believe me, I feel really sorry about it. However in the career of a football player sometimes the unexpected and unwanted may happen.
“I can guarantee you it was not for trying. I did my best but football is not like maths: often a lot of things out of our control affect the way we feel and the way things turn out. I am sorry it did not work out as I would have wished in this amazing huge club.
“I want to give special thanks to all the Directors and Management of Manchester United as well as to every member of the staff and colleagues as they gave me all their support. Also a special mention to all the fans who always trusted me and showed me their respect and love.
“Now is time to move to PSG, but the Glorious Manchester United Club will be forever in my memory!
“Wish you all the best in the world.
“With best regards, Angel Di Maria.”

Manchester United fine Di Maria for going AWOL

Manchester United forward, Angel Di Maria has been handed a two weeks wages fine following his unauthorised absence. The Argentine was expected to meet up with his teammates in on July 25 but he, however, missed his flight and embarked on an unknown trip. United have withheld £360,000 from Di Maria’s pay and are expected to round up negotiations that will see him moving to Ligue 1 side, PSG.

Angel Di Maria's whereabouts unknown

Manchester United manager, Louis Van Gaal has conceded that he doesn’t know the whereabout of record signing, Angel Di Maria who is on the verge of completing a move to Paris Saint Germain.
Di Maria was expected to reunite with his club in California on Saturday after he got some time off as a result of the Copa America. He, however, missed his flight and has failed to report to the club.

“You can ask that every week, but it is the same answer,” Van Gaal said in his news conference. “Maybe you know? I don’t know that either.”

United are locked in talks with PSG about selling the former Real Madrid winger, who became the most expensive player in the history of English football when Van Gaal paid £59.7 million for him in 2014. The French champions’ manager Laurent Blanc again voiced his confidence that a deal will be completed soon.

“You know negotiations are in tandem,” Blanc said in his news conference. “But as United and Paris Saint Germain are both big clubs, that can be difficult. But we feel we are close to the end.”
