Angel Di Maria | Performances | Wife: "He only joined United for money. The food was disgusting. The women look like porcelain"

[Champagne Football]

A Van Gaal or a Jose is the worst thing to happen a player like Di Maria.

A Fergie or a Pochettino will tell a Di Maria to go out, enjoy yourself, put on a show.

A Van Gaal or a Jose will say 'I'm the only King around here, you are nothing and you do it my way or I'll dump you on the bench for 3 months.'

Bit odd that he still holds a grudge, when it was Madrid that didn't want him and put him on the transfer market. Maybe he still has nightmares about that night in Paris?

Van Gaal played him in the hole and gave him the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He often went missing because he couldn't handle the physicality of the league, and would drop his head when things aren't going well.

He's come out saying before that he couldn't adapt to Van Gaal rigid tactics. Add that to the fact he couldn't speak a word of English, probably didn't like the weather/culture/food which can take a South American a few seasons to get used to.

Possibly a browser extension interfering with it? Are you using adblock? That can sometimes block embedded media, although usually it's videos from streamable and the like.

I am indeed... Will see what I can do about it.

If you are using a cell phone, try to put desktop mode.

Cheers, I'll try it out.

 

[kouroux]

First ITW he ever gave at Utd he said that he wanted to go to PSG but since there were FFP regulations, he went to United. We were never his choice, merely a transit for PSG.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

The camera cutting to his face immediately after we knocked them out last year is one of my favourite ever Utd memories.

He's a fecking fanny

 

[GailSpaceWynand]

For what it's worth, it was not him who made the comments so can't blame him really. I still see it as Van Gaal's failure and the fact that he didn't want to be here. A great player nonetheless but lacked the mental strength required to make it here (or didn't want to use it)

I won't blame the manager for Di maria's failure here. He never wanted to be here and was just trying to make excuses to cover his flaws.

Irrespective of how things went here, the guy is a top class player and shows it more often than not.

He is absolutely top class and was categorised as a Galactico signing when he arrived at OT.
Shame (for us) it didn't work out for him.
I remember in one of his first games for us, he was running the show in attack. Creating/scoring goals. I remember when he was playing for us in his first few games, people commented that they couldn't believe that such a good player plays for us.

It all changed after that Leicester game.
Even in the LCFC game, which we lost, we still scored 3 goals in the first 60 minutes! That's how attacking we were under LVG. << surely LVG and attacking is an oxymoron
After that defeat, LVG went ultra defensive and no longer gave our attackers free reign and our target was to win matches 1-0 or settle for a 0-0 draw.
I do wonder what would've happened had LVG ignored the LCFC game (put it down as a one-off anomaly) and continued to play attacking football. LVG could've turned us into an ultra attacking machine. We'd have lost matches, but the thrashings that we would have dished out would've been something to remember.

Some say that he lacked backbone. I don't believe this. I think he does work hard and is prepared to put in graft. One of his last games for us was the Arsenal FA Cup game, when he got sent off. That match, he was running everywhere and desperately wanted to put in a match winning performance, even though we were 1-0 down. Someone with no backbone won't do that.

 

[cyberman]

Bottler. No wonder he ran away from the challenge and hid in France.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Feelings mutual.

Is this the same Jose who got the best out of Di Maria in a Left CM role for Real Madrid?

Ancelotti was the manager then.

 

[Yagami]

He's an amazing player and he's showing his true form again for Paris (he's arguably been their most consistent performer this season), but his behaviour really leaves you no option of liking him.

Yep.

Was probably my favourite player in the world to watch in his last season at Madrid. Now, feck him.

 

[nikineil]

You are correct! I stand corrected. Apologies @Champagne Football !

I think he was unable to act as a main man in a long run. He is a hard-working player who thrives when the main focus is on someone else, but when he is the one expected to produce match-winning performances week in, week out, it overwhelms him. In one game you would often see him trying hard and performing well, I mean, take a look at his CL final performance.

 

[giorno]

You are correct! I stand corrected. Apologies @Champagne Football !

Mourinho used him on the right wing. He was streaky, but on the whole great under Mou. Though there a few issues in their second season

 

[mariachi-19]

@GifLord and gif of this fanny in Paris last year...

 

[mu4c_20le]

Maguire still needs to do something like this to completely win me over as captain

 

[Rossa]

How low is that level? Below the sewers where Di Maria lives?

Just about

 

[pablo__p]

Signing a player that doesn't want to be here is on the club. Players should be vetted and be good fits not only from the way they play perspective but also mentality and motivation.

-What did you not like about Manchester?

"Basically everything. I disliked everything about it. Everyone is skinny. You walk around and you don't know if they will kill you or not. The food is disgusting. The girls all use a lot of make up, like they are dolls"

Wow. Really coming to a low point on the caf. Discussing Angel Di Maria's "performances." Next up, Dong Fangzhuo.

 

[yumtum]

She must have been on some serious drugs to assume everyone wanted to kill her?

In reality I'm betting no one knew who the hell she was if she was walking on her own.

I don't buy this "the food is disgusting", the UK is full of foreign food so even if you don't like British food you can eat practically anything you want. Moreover, she could just cook at home unless she can't cook.

 

[Raw]

Jesus. No wonder his performances fell flat on their arse with a wife this unhappy with where she lived.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Didn’t their house get broken into, in Manchester? She has a valid reason

same here. a thing of pure beauty.

 

[paraguayo]

The thing about north british girls and make up is spot on though

 

[mariachi-19]

same here. a thing of pure beauty.

The thing I love about it is that it wasn't even for only like a second with Neymar... it was legit on him for 5-10 seconds

Its like even the Uefa were keen to rub it in.

 

[2 man midfield]

It's funny to me that us Brits are so self-depricating, that we can listen to Angel Di Maria's wife call Manchester a shit City and go, "you know what? She's got a point"

 

[Yagami]

As someone who's lived in Manchester his whole life, i often wonder how I've survived the way some talk about the city

It looks to me like she has been in the walking dead series.

I am happy for her, now living in a place with fat people that don’t try to kill her. I am also happy that she loves food nowdays and that nobody wears make up. Not even her.

 

[yumtum]

True, I wouldn't know what it would feel like to have a break in, but to claim a whole City is murderous goes too far the other way.

Also, doesn't Paris have a fairly healthy crime rate?

 

[Infordin]

Skinny = Crackhead in this context

Scummy man. Scummy woman who is nothing but vainglorious. Even if you held such views to say it openly says a lot about the woman and the man.

These are the kind of assholes that Solskjaer will never bring in.
