He's an absolute coward. We broke the bank to bring him here; our fans have shown nothing but support and this is how he repays us/the club.
I hope his career continues in a downwards spiral.
How can you just give up after a single season? Absolutely pathetic.
Is there even any point of contracts anymore?

Honestly quite happy he's going simply because his attitude was clearly not good enough. I think the fact he was constantly benched and limped off after a nothing challenge in the last game of the season showed his commitment was not all there.
At least we got rid of Falcao. And yet, even after a season of barely standing on his feet Chelsea took him in.This thread has become epic. How united fans have loved Di Maria like they got some messiah last season and now this. From the first game it was clear that he is not made to play in the PL nor made to fit in a hardworking LVG system. He is a very weak one-dimensional winger and a liability to play in midfield in the PL. I dunno why United fans have kept their hopes high for this guy even after the performances he gave last season.
By the way, the Schweinsteiger transfer is also not gonna be that great. He will stay injured for half the time.
Retire no.7 it's cursed.
Great players want to achieve great things first and foremost and then look at the city. Rather than want to play an easy league. All of those things can happen post 30. The pay is great everywhere for him. Imagine Suarez or Aguero moving to France at the age of 27.
Fully agree. I can't remember the last time I have seen such a talented player taking the coward's route rather than showing any kind of pride through working harder to prove doubters wrong. Even Shevchenko and Torres had more spine than that despite flopping at Chelsea.
Basically it's about his wife then, which would make some Imo. But from a purely professional PoV it's the wrong one.
Well that escalated quickly. Very unprofessional behavior.
if he wasn't made for the premier league then how is he our highest assister in our team this season.
Club should of tried harder to keep him, looks like psg are bullying us.

If the rumors are correct, yes it's about his wife.
Because the mark of a great player is the want to live in a "lovely city" and have a nice lifestyle.
I'm sorry but purely in footballing terms you should want to play in the best leagues of you're good enough. That's where ambition and the desire to be the best comes in. The other stuff you can indulge in when you're 30-35.
Well its obvious what is happening now. When re release squad numbers for the season i'm hoping to see it next to the name Memphis. PSG seemed to be his preferred choice last year and if he does not want to be here then he can be replaced.
46m is a good price, he isn't worth that and I have no idea how we ever agreed to pay 60m for him. He is a good player but he isn't a big loss, other than his last season at Madrid he has always been hit and miss and his value would only plummet while he sits on the bench next season.
Woodward has to just take the loss on the chin, Madrid conned him into paying a ludicrous fee and di Maria clearly was never really committed to coming here despite some of the comments he made. I doubt we will miss him and Pedro will be a good replacement or even the likes of januzaj and Perriera.

PSG will no doubt pay up though, so we couldn't be selling him to a better club. I reckon we'll get almost all of our money back from those oil money mugs.
We don't have much luck with Argentinian players do we.
As good a reason as any, then, IMO. Moreso than Ronaldo's "dream" to play for Real.
good price ? Christ you say it like we paid that, no we're selling him for that and making a loss so it's a shit price and we should of asked for more
very wishful thinking on the second point.
He can easily succeed in England. There's nothing stopping him from being a huge success. No footballing reason at least.
There are no two identical coaches but there are coaches more similar in their approachs and methods as well as more flexible than LvG and I am not comfortable letting LvG do everything he wants.
My opinion on LvG is that we will be more successful result wise after him than with him. But he will have laid the basics and done a lot of good work by then. Still some of his ideas will stand in the way to do the final step which another manager will then do, but for this he will need some different type of players from LvG.
What's this about him never wanting to join us? He seemed pretty happy when he did so a year ago, did he say anything to suggest his first choice was always PSG?
I'm quite indifferent to this, to be honest. His arrival didn't make a particularly big impact, so neither will his departure. I wish him all the best and I hope he returns to Old Trafford with PSG. And we stuff them properly.
I don't understand that, how PSG are bullying anyone, if United don't want to sell they don't sell, and if Di Maria want to stay he will stay. Can't people face the possibility that Di Maria convinced the club that he wanted out?
Once the De Gea situation is over and done with, we need to tell Mendes to go and feck himself with a broom handle. The man's a fecking pest.
By all accounts, van Gaal told him he'd like him to stay another season at least and he'd play more this season after van Persie departed.
He's the one doing the running to get out of here.
It is a good price because have to forget what we paid, it was double what he was worth and he had a bad season. No one was prepared to pay 59m after his best ever season so we are Never getting that back and is also desperate to leave so have to accept reality with regard to the fee.
Those players are capable of replacing him because he is massively over rated and he was deservedly drop last season, he doesn't leave a big gap to fill.
Yes, he said that if it wasn't for PSG inability to find an agreement with Real Madrid he would have joined them.
That was my impression (that we were second choice) back then. I can't remember why exactly and what was going on in the press but there must have been a reason.
Don't understand the rage about him joining PSG.
His options in terms of clubs that can afford the fee and wages are limited. United wouldn't sell him to another English club, Madrid got rid of him in the first place. If Barcelona or Bayern don't make any bids for him then PSG are clearly the best option. They are one of the top 10 teams in the world and have been able to attract the best players for years now.

Bullying us? FFS.
The mark of a good guy though is putting his family's happiness above his own career and by all accounts his wife hated it here
He really said that? I'd be surprised if that were the case, not exactly a good way to endear yourself to your new club....
Also this day and age where PSG of all clubs is considered a more attractive destination than us
But that's true for all the coaches.
The £60m includes add ones I've read and we've paid £45m up to now so if we get that back then we will be breaking even not that I care if we made a loss on this ugly mug, he can stick the Eiffel Tower where the sun don't shine!!!
Only reason he's hitting the road is because of his attitude. He knows well he'll have a way handier time of it in the French League as opposed to having to do a bit in the Premier League. Apart from his assists his over all performances last season have been poor enough so it's not like we'll be missing anything. Spend whatever we get for him wisely, forget about him and move on.
11 assists, plus more outside of the league I think. Also hella chances created.
Have our boys januzaj and perriera got that in them yet ? It's a huge ask. If he's going he needs to be replaced we don't have anyone as direct as him in the squad.
He is leaving a gap that needs filling, yes we went on a good run of games without him but don't let that run cloud over the entire season.
Well said.
I just want to say despite being slated and such months and months ago, and I will probably be slated again....
Called it. The guy didn't want to be here. All from his body language regardless of his "I want to proove myself here" quotes. Actions speaks louder than words.

They've taken the british record trasnfer fee signing after a year for a reduced fee than we paid.
Okay yes there are details but on the surface that looks like bullying 101 or at least doing a club's shopping for them.

To put in the context, he was asked why he didn't joined PSG during an interview on the french TV and he basically confirmed the rumors that he was going to sign for them but that the FFP prevented PSG from making an acceptable offer, iirc PSG offered a 1 year loan for a big sum and a 65m clause.
