Argentine winger, Angel Di Maria has revealed his ‘problem’ while playing for Manchester United in the English Premier League.
The 33-year-old claimed his then coach at Manchester United, Louis van Gaal is the main reason for his failure in English football.
The player, who now plays for PSG in the French Ligue 1 revealed he “didn’t give a f*ck about the Manchester United No 7″ after being handed the jersey at Old Trafford in 2014, an iconic Jersey number that has been worn by the likes of George Best, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Eric Cantona.
“I didn’t give a f*ck about the Manchester United No. 7, at first they talked to me a lot about it, it was just a shirt” Di Maria told TyC Sports.
“My problem at Manchester was the coach. Van Gaal was the worst of my career. I would score, assist, and the next day he would show me my misplaced passes. He displaced me from one day to the other, he didn’t like players being more than him.”
Di Maria was sold to Real Madrid coached by Jose Mourinho in 2010 and hit 26 goals under the Portuguese coach as the Blancos won La Liga and Copa del Rey glory.
Praising Mourinho, Di Maria said: “Mourinho is insane, with me he was always a good guy. He fought with anyone though, he didn’t give a f*ck. One time he fought with [Cristiano] Ronaldo telling him he didn’t run, that everyone ran for him.”
