Anxel Di Mariya spoke about the reasons for his unsuccessful activity at Manchester United

Argentina national team star Anxel Di Mariya spoke in detail about his unsuccessful spell at Manchester United, as reported by Zamin.uz.

Joining the club for a record fee of £59.7 million and wearing the legendary number seven shirt, the forward managed just one season in England. Di Mariya emphasized that tactical disagreements and a series of personal issues made his time in Manchester difficult.

This was reported by Goal.com. One of the main reasons for his struggles, he said, was his poor relationship with then-manager Louis van Gaal.

According to the player, although things started positively, misunderstandings with the coach soon arose, and things began to go downhill. Van Gaal constantly focused on analyzing mistakes while overlooking the positive aspects of his play.

This approach negatively affected Di Mariya’s morale, leaving him feeling frustrated. Life off the pitch was also challenging for the Argentine star.

An attempted break-in at his home in Cheshire, combined with constant worries about his family’s safety, worsened the situation. Di Mariya said the lifestyle there was completely different from what he was used to.

The early darkness and cold weather also affected his mood. Although he had experienced incidents in Paris, he chose to stay there due to the higher quality of life, whereas in Manchester, all the negative factors piled up.

His partner, Jorgeлина Kardoso, also shared her sharp views on life in England. She did not hide her dissatisfaction with the food, the uncomfortable weather, and the attitude of local people.

They emphasized that they had lived happily in the best conditions at Real Madrid, and the offer from Manchester United forced them to give up all those comforts. In the end, Di Mariya decided to leave England, prioritizing his family’s peace above all else.
