Skinny people, disgusting food - Di Maria's wife recalls 's***' life at Man Utd

Angel Di Maria's time in the Premier League was short lived, and it may not just have been to do with his form at Manchester United, as his wife has revealed the awful time she had in England.

Speaking to Spanish morning show Los Angeles de la Manana, Jorgelina Cardoso spoke about all the things she hated in Manchester.

'I begged Angel, any place but England,' she said. 'And one year later we were in Manchester, s***.'

When asked about what exactly was wrong with Manchester, she didn't have much nice to say about the city.

'I didn't like anything at all. The people were all skinny, neat, weird. You are walking and you don't know if they are going to kill you or not.'

Di Maria's house was targeted in an attempted robbery in 2015, where burglars are believed to have used scaffolding poles to smash their way into their house.

After this, the family stayed briefly in the Lowry Hotel, and the house eventually put up for sale when Cardoso was scared to return home.

'The food is disgusting,' she continued. 'The girls all use a lot of make up, like they are dolls.'

Di Maria moved to PSG after just a year at Old Trafford, and has been there since 2015.

He scored just four goals in 32 games during his season at Manchester United. By comparison, he now has 80 goals in 217 games for the French champions.

Although he is much happier in Paris, his wife is eventually targeting a move back to their home country of Argentina.
