William Prunier, Mark 'Bozza' Bosnich and Radamel Falcao. And now
Angel Di Maria. Argentina winger Di Maria can be added to the list of
legendary United underachievers for doing next to nothing for the
club.
Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys seemed to sum up the general
mood on Twitter towards Di Maria.
Di Maria is part of United ignominy, a list full of flops who arrived
at Old Trafford amid great fanfare but ended up departing the club
under the cloud of underachievement. Di Maria was hailed as one of the
great United signings in history when he signed from Real Madrid from
a record £59million last summer, but a year on the Argentina winger
finds himself bundled off to Paris Saint-Germain for £44.3m. Almost
£15m less than he signed for.
Fresh from helping Real Madrid claim 'La Decima' and a tenth European
Cup, Di Maria was expected to excel in a red shirt, but instead proved
the old adage that reputations count for nothing in football. Plenty
of United fans were out in force to lament Di Maria's passing, but
most weren't weeping.
