Tuchel thought Di Maria had a good relationship with Man Utd fans as beer & boos mar his return

Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel admits he was surprised by the boos Angel Di Maria received during the first leg last-16 win over Manchester United.

The Argentina winger was regularly jeered by the home fans at Old Trafford, who he played in front of for one unhappy season in the 2014-15 campaign having arrived amid much fanfare from Real Madrid.

A beer bottle was even thrown in his direction during the second half, which the 30-year-old used as a prop to mock the supporters.
