Di Maria blames Man Utd for flopping at Old Trafford, insisting he had problems with Louis Van Gaal
ANGEL DI MARIA pointed the finger at Manchester United and ex-boss Louis van Gaal for his Old Trafford nightmare.
United smashed the British record transfer fee when they shelled out £60milion to Real Madrid for the Argentine winger in 2014.
But he only lasted a season and United fans only saw flashes of his quality under Van Gaal.
WHY IT WENT WRONG
He made just 32 appearances and scored four goals in a miserable year in England and was moved on to Paris Saint-Germain for £44m.
Di Maria lifted the lid on his United struggles before he came up against his old side in the 2019 Champions League.
Speaking on radio station France Bleu, he said: "I only stayed one year. It wasn't the best period of my career, or they didn't let me have my best time there.
"There were problems with the coach at the time.
“But thanks to God, I was able to come to PSG and be myself again."
Di Maria's family failed to settle in the North West after an attempted burglary while they were at home watching TV.
His wife Jorgelina Cardoso refused to return to the house after burglars believed to be armed with scaffolding poles tried to smash their way into his home.
