Angel Di Maria has been worried about his
family’s safety after an attempted break-in at his
Cheshire home says Manchester United boss
Louis van Gaal.
.
Intruders failed to get in after triggering an alarm
when they smashed a patio door at the 26-year-old’s
home.
.
The winger, who cost a British transfer record
£59.7m, has moved into a hotel.
.
“He was worried about his wife and child,” said Van
Gaal. “I believe in the total human being principle. So
his environment is important.”
.
Van Gaal spoke to Di Maria before United’s FA Cup
fourth-round replay win over Cambridge at Old
Trafford to ensure he was in the right frame of mind
to play.
.
“I decided in the past never to play a player in those
circumstances,” added Van Gaal.
.
“But with him, I had the feeling that I had to give him
a chance to play and I was happy that I let him play.”
.
Van Gaal said he expects Di Maria to confirm he is
willing to be involved in Sunday’s Premier League trip to West Ham.
