Di Maria himself want to leave, probably because he won't be on the first team anymore.
Real Madrid always sign players sought-after players whether they need them or not and James Rodriguez had a good World Cup and is young.
I'm Surprised they didn't get Suarez, he would have been a further improvement and an upgrade from Benzema.
Maybe Falcao is next.
They don't always sign players they need.
It's good for Di Maria. He was so flexible for Real Madrid. He's a natural winger but Real Madrid played him as CM because Bale and Ronaldo are prioritized as wingers. But Di Maria still thrived and shone as a creative CM.
But Madrid is as usual. They brought in candy boy James Rodriguez and all of a sudden Di Maria was forgotten.
I can understand getting rid of Ozil for a more beasty Bale but Rodriguez for Di Maria doesn't make sense.
Anyways, I can assure Man Utd will love him Di Maria a lot and he will be handed his favorite wing position and the iconic no. 7 shirt for sure.
Because Di Maria was offered a raise to the region of 6-7 million Euros a year, in line with the new deal Modric was signed too recently. Di Maria asked for more, 9 million AND a GUARANTEED starting spot. Real Madrid said no, this would cause a lot of unrest among the players who would want that salary too, and would also want assurances of starting. So rightfully, Real Madrid said no.
When Real Madrid said no, Angel Di Maria asked to leave.
And that takes us up to today.
Ancelotti would have wanted to sign a defender but his club president probably decided against it instead decided to strengthen an already strong area creating unrest among its players.Di Maria is good enough to start for them ahead of Rodriquez, Ancelotti knows that but he has to follow their clubs trend of buying superstars or the latest star in the market every year.
They have no room for all of them, and James Rodriguez was bought in to boost shirt sales, they won't keep selling many of the same players on the back of shirts like Ronaldo, so they need a marquee signing.
And he wants to leave anyway.
Di Maria wants to play for a big club, that is why he is going to Manchester United
Di Maria is not good enough for RM and wants to leave. Man utd are the only club desperate enough to pay so much for him.
Di Maria actually WANTS to leave Real Madrid
All i can say is welcome to manchester united di maria :) fyi ancelotti wants to keep him its real madrids president who wants rid and di maria wants out
He'd be unwise to board the sinking ship that is Manchester United. Good luck son, wherever you go, unless it's United lol
It's kind of stupid how they are letting go one of there best players and replacing him with Rodriguez. Dumb move by ancelotti there. Di Maria > Rodriguez by a mile.
florentino perez wants james ,carlo didnt
