When Angel Di Maria signed from Real Madrid for a club transfer record of 59.7 million pounds, I was ecstatic that a world-class player had joined Manchester United. One of the positions that Manchester United lacked is out wide, they needed somebody creative, with vision and speedy and the time I believed that Manchester United found the perfect player.
Fair enough he didn't have the best of seasons but 4 goals and 10 assists in the league is not bad at all but not the greatest but it's no coincidence that after his house was broken into in February of this year, that his form deteriorate. He was shaken up about it no doubt and his focus was clearly not on playing for Manchester United. I sympathize with him but there is crime all over the world. He has since sign for Paris Saint German, what If somebody burglarize his new home in Paris, will he leave Paris also? Louis Van Gaal stated after his departure that he had to sell him as he couldn't adapt to the English Culture. That may true but to me he lacks physicality, very weak on the ball, as we all know, England is a very demanding and physical league and at times, during last season he looked a shell of his former self.
To play for Manchester United, a player needs to have a fighting spirit inside of them, it's either you got it or you don't. Mentally toughness is very much-needed and Angel Di Maria is lacking in these qualities. Former Manchester United center-back Rio Ferdinand said Di Maria would have on his CV that he failed at Manchester United and he wouldn't want that. I have to agree, to quit after one season is like giving up. At least commit to another season and she what happens. It's done and dusted now, I wish him the best but not against Manchester United.
