Di Maria Wants To Forget Manchester United Spell

Angel Di Maria is determined to wipe his "sad" spell at Manchester United from his memory.

The 27-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in a much-heralded £59.7m switch from Real Madrid in August 2014, but left for Paris Saint-Germain last summer after 32 appearances in his one season.

And Di Maria has no regrets about his £44m switch to join Laurent Blanc's squad, who are the runaway leaders of Ligue 1 and face Chelsea for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"Manchester United was a sad experience," the Argentina international told French magazine L'Equipe.

"Things didn't go as I had hoped. I was disappointed and it didn't help me to rise to the surface.

"Honestly, I don't even remember any more what happened and I don't want to remember. I am happy to be here and that's the most important thing."

Di Maria admitted in September that his family were determined to leave England after burglars targeted his home in Prestbury, Cheshire last February and revealed he had not got on well with United manager Louis van Gaal.

Di Maria is confident he can continue to impress for PSG, having scored eight goals in Ligue 1 and created many more alongside Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura and Edinson Cavani.

"Every day here I feel better and better integrated into the team, the club and the city and that's reflected in my performances," Di Maria added.

"I know that the two matches to come against Chelsea will determine a lot of things. Everyone sees us as the favourites. We don't see it that way.

"It is Chelsea - they have a quality squad and players that every club in Europe would want to have."
