Angel Di Maria's wife Jorgelina Cardoso has revealed that she “didn't like anything” about Manchester after her husband swapped Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu for Old Trafford in 2014, describing the experience as “horrible” and referring to England as a “sh*thole”.
The Argentine spent just one season with the Red Devils despite joining for a then record fee for a British club, with his time at United largely remembered for a lack of consistency in performances given the money involved to prise him away from Madrid.
Things were not much better off the pitch either, according to Cardoso, as the couple had argued over the merits of a move to the Premier League long before Di Maria's ill-fated spell in England's top flight.
