Di Maria’s wife reveals real reason he joined Manchester United

Jorgelina Cardoso, the wife of Paris Saint-Germain forward, Angel Di Maria, has claimed her husband only joined Manchester United in 2014 because of the money.

Di Maria moved to Old Trafford in 2014 in a £60million deal from Real Madrid.

He played only one season (2014/2015) for the Red Devils before he left for PSG.

During his one year at Man United, Di Maria was made one of the club’s highest earners with a deal worth £175,000-a-week salary.

The winger was also handed the legendary number 7 shirt, previously worn by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Eric Cantona.

“I remember Angel coming up and saying, ‘an offer from Manchester United has come in. Maybe we will be a little more financially secure,’ Jorgelina told Los Angeles de la Manana.

“We fought about it. I told him, not a chance, he could go on his own. ‘No, come on. Let us go’, he replied.

“There was a lot of money involved, and afterward, the Spanish were calling us money grabbers. And they were right.

“If you are working for a company and the competition comes along and offers to pay you double, you take it.”
