Di Maria: "Leaving Real was difficult"

Argentine footballer Ángel Di María recalled the period when he left Madrid's "Real" club against his will in 2014 and transferred to "Manchester United." This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to Di María, leaving "Real" was very difficult for him because he did not want to leave the club.

At that time, media outlets circulated rumors that "Di María was demanding a salary like Ronaldo." However, the player denied these claims, emphasizing that such allegations were illogical.

Di María said that he felt happy having won the Champions League with "Real." He also added that head coach Carlo Ancelotti wanted to keep him in the team.

However, with the arrival of James Rodríguez, the decision was made to transfer Di María. The player stated that he tried his best to stay at "Real" and wanted to continue participating in training sessions.

He played in the first match of the Super Cup against "Atlético," but was not even included in the squad for the return leg. Di María emphasized that he was unaware of "Real" reaching an agreement with "Manchester United" and noted that such situations often occur in the football world.
