LVG Is The Reason I Hated My Time At MUFC – Di Maria

Former Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria has blamed his unhappy spell at Manchester United on former boss Louis van Gaal. He recently had his say during an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, and fans have been reacting.

Revealing that LVG constantly focused on the negatives in his game, Di Maria noted that the Dutch manager was the reason he hated being at Old Trafford.

The World Cup winner added that his time in Manchester was perfect until Van Gaal frustrated him with criticisms.

His words, “Things started really well. Everything was flowing.

Then I started to have issues with Van Gaal and from there everything fell apart.

Like I said, I started really well. Everything was perfect. But then suddenly we started having lots of meetings about all the things I was doing wrong on the pitch.

He never showed me what I was doing well, just the negatives, over and over. Eventually I got fed up.

Life there was very different. It gets dark really early and then the cold started. Everything kept snowballing. There was also the break-in at my house.

When all of that happens; when you are not playing, when things aren’t going well for you, when you have problems inside the club, it ends up affecting you a lot. It made me hate being there.

I got robbed in Paris too and still stayed for another two or three years, because life there was good.

In Manchester, everything just snowballed. I wanted to prioritise my family and that is why I left.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
