Paris Saint-Germain player reveals how much Angel di Maria hates Manchester United

Angel di Maria hates Manchester United so much that he refuses to even watch them on television anymore, according to Paris Saint-Germain teammate Marcin Bulka.

The Argentine international arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2014 but spent just one season at United before moving on to play for Paris Saint-Germain.

Di Maria impressed upon his arrival to English football but soon fell out of favour under Louis van Gaal and it seems he would rather forget his short spell at United.

"Di Maria hates Manchester United," Bulka told Foot Truck.

"He has no good memory of the time he spent there. In fact, when something related to Manchester United appears on television, it changes soon."

Spekaing earlier in the month Di Maria revealed he never actually wanted to wear the famous No.7 shirt during his time at Old Trafford, and instead had his eyes on the No.11 made famous by Ryan Giggs.

“I don’t really know. When I arrived, I saw that the number 11 was available," Di Maria told Ligue 1 when asked why he took the No.11 shirt at PSG.

“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!”
