Angel on his return to his former club says “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.”
Angel Di Maria signed for Manchester United and was immediately handed the famous number seven shirt at the club, in the 2014 summer transfer window for a then record-breaking transfer fee of £59.7m. He made just 27 Premier League appearances for United before being shipped out to Paris Saint Germain one season later.
