Ángel di María has admitted he had a difficult relationship with Louis van Gaal and that was the prime reason he left Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germainin the summer.
Van Gaal signed Di María from Real Madrid in August 2014 for a British transfer record £59.7m but the Argentinian struggled to adapt to the Dutchman’s playing style and he also had off-field problems, eventually joining PSG for £44.3m. The latter included having his rented home broken into when Di María and family were present.
But not seeing eye-to-eye with Van Gaal proved to be the defining factor in Di María’s departure. “I didn’t get on very well with the coach, so I think the decision to join Paris was the best solution” he told Le Parisien. “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.
