Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria on completing his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, signing a four-year contract after moving for a fee of €63 million (£44m) spoke to the media for the first time during his unveiling by the French Champions PSG.
“I am very proud & can’t wait to wear PSG’s colours. I want to win every competition, both in France & Europe. I am very happy to be here. For many years the club has been trying to recruit me “, said Di Maria on completing his big-money move from Manchester United.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said, “We are very proud that Angel Di Maria has chosen PSG. He is an incredibly talented player. By signing Di Maria, PSG is once again showing the club’s constant ambition to reach the summits of the European game. I want to say thank you to Angel for choosing PSG, because I know that he had a lot of other big clubs pursuing him”
Di Maria on leaving Manchester United, said “It was not only my decision. If I am here, it is because they wanted to sell me. All 3 parties wanted the move”
Di Maria in understated form at press conference, said that “Things did not go as planned at Manchester United. Things didn’t quite work out at #MUFC for various reasons, but that’s in the past. Now it’s the present”.
Di Maria even admitted that he hasn’t watched any other Ligue 1 games other than PSG games in the past. Last game he watched was apparently that of Lyon’s.
