🚨🇪🇸🗣️ ANDER HERRERA on how ÁNGEL DI MARÍA was world-class everywhere but failed at MANCHESTER UNITED:
“Di María was great in his first couple of months. He provided a lot of assists, scored goals, and played on the right and left.
But I don't remember exactly when things changed with Van Gaal. After one game, he lost the ball too many times. Van Gaal criticised him in front of everyone, and then Di María changed.
He said to me, ‘If there is someone in the team who has to lose the ball, it's me.’ And I agree with him. Di María was the one who had to take risks.
After that, his house was robbed. Then everything became very negative, and it's sad because he could have been great for the club.
The way he started and performed, I think he was one of those players with United DNA. His game was chaotic: take the ball, attack, run back, win the ball, and attack again.
We lost an amazing Di María for probably three, four, or five years at the club.”
