PSG forward, Angel Di Maria has said he was left with no choice but to take the No.7 shirt at Manchester United.
The Argentine recently revealed that it was never his choice to wear the iconic number and he only did what the club asked him to do.
According to him, he would’ve preferred the number 11, but he had to respect the decision of the club.
He added that since he had the choice to pick a number at PSG, he went for the number 11 jersey.
His words, “I don’t really know. When I arrived, I saw that the number 11 was available.
“It’s a shirt number I wore a lot when I was younger and I was keen to get once again.
“At Real Madrid, number 11 was already taken, so I took 22. At Manchester United they gave me number 7, I didn’t get a choice. I would have liked 11 but there we are. Here, I had a choice, so I chose 11!”
On his current club, “PSG is very important to me. They welcomed me with open arms in a period when I was finding it difficult in Manchester.
“I came here with ambition, and determination to succeed. Little by little, I showed that I was capable, that I could help the club achieve great things. I always do my best to help the club succeed.”
