The period he spent at Manchester United was not at all pleasant for Angel Di Maria and even less for his wife Jorgelina Cardoso.
In the “LAM” program of the Argentine television, “El Trece” she confessed the whole “nightmare” she went through in England.
“We went to Manchester on a few occasions to meet Aguero and his wife before Di Maria moved to the Red Devils and it was a really ugly experience. I told my husband to make sure he moved anywhere else in the world, not to England,” said Cardoso.
However, the Argentine moved from Real Madrid to Old Trafford for €75 million in August 2014, at the time one of the most expensive transfers of all time. While after 11 months, after a very disappointing season, he joined Paris Saint-Germain.
When she found out about this offer, the attacker’s wife reveals that she told him: “I don’t want to come, go alone.”
Ultimately, the deciding factor in Cardoso’s reversal of decision was the significantly higher salary that Manchester United had offered the Argentine.
“It was a lot of money, more than what the Spaniards had offered. So we went. If you work in a company and someone offers you double your salary, you accept. I didn’t like it at all though… I can tell you that. People are all weird. Walk in the street not knowing if you will be killed. The food is disgusting. Women look like porcelain. I said to my husband: ‘Darling, I want to kill myself’,” Di Maria’s wife said, among other things, in the interview.
