Have to agree with that..
Ángel Di María | Transferred to PSG

Yeah PSG couldn't purchase him last year for FFP, but how would he have ever benefited here knowing he this wasn't even his 2nd choice club (the guy probably would have stayed at Madrid to start with, if they wanted him). Basically he came here for no reason
I defended him throughout tge season but no more. He should just feck off
At this early stage of his contract Utd would definitely lose money here. You paid him a year of wages already plus whatever fees for agents and addons. Sometimes it's easier to just cut your losses with a thing you don't want.
Mendes told him, look United wants you, its good money, do it.
I agree with that, to expect the same amount for which we bought him is.. Silly..
Jesus, the whole situation was so bad that it isn't even worth thinking about. It is so gutting especially when you consider the excitement we all had when we first signed him and he got the no.7 shirt. Hope we never get mercenaries like these again.
Yup. It all went so wrong.
Yes and it has to be to the penny. Any less is bad enough but any more and it will be even worse.
Its far from realistic.
Not possible, the euro has went to shit
If prices quoted we've prob done alright consider to be fair
Let offer him to Bayern for Muller
I don't think they'd want him, at that price and after such an indifferent season where he hardly showed any backbone ...
We need to stop signing Argentineans... may as well sell Rojo right now, before he turns out to be a prick!
I'm over the moon he has gone. What a waste of money last season (I care little for his stats now, he didn't look bothered). He was never interested in playing for United after the break in on his home, and who can blame him? As a family man, I don't.
However, this whole AWOL affair leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and he will be despised by United fans now. He could have, and should have, handled this a lot better.
A good fee and a big wage off the books. Manchester United is in a better place today now he has gone.

I dont think anyone should be sticking up for him personally.
Im not one to slag current players or leaving players off (mostly) but hes never really given any indication he wanted to be here or that he liked the fans, etc
He signed and there were quotes he made about bring forced out etc
He doesn't deserve any sympath or wishing luck, and i dont think anyone can be called out for calling him all the names under the sun
Edit btw im not saying you are sticking up for him etc, more reinforcing some of your post

Romero?
Dick. Get rid.
I wouldn't be. His contract still runs long enough for him to not be able to sit it out. I doubt he wants to spend two years in Manchester sitting on his ass. Granted, we would be forced to pay him his salary, which could ultimately make up the difference in the transfer fee we're being offered and the fee we paid for him. Nonetheless, I wouldn't give in so quickly. Surely, PSG is desperate enough to bring him in, so the more the deadline of the transfer market nears, the more are they going to be willing to offer.
Not the manager but administrative staff at the club. Or do you think it's LvG booking flights and accommodation.
Being a family man myself, this is probably one of the worst things that can happen. However this is the real world, it happens, most of us wouldn't have the resources to move home / city, let along being able to hire body guards & round the clock security.
I personally thinks that's an excuse, I think after that experience you would feel unnerved where ever you lived - just hire a fecking body guard.
The truth is, he never wanted to be here (and it showed), we were probably his 3rd choice and it's just another example of how we tried to become Mendes FC - which has back fired... Horrendously.
Now for a replacement.
Had a few tags from what was a very simple, straight forward post. Here's the follow up because I'm not typing to each reply:
I'm not exonerating Di Maria in any way but the idea that the manager (a proper manager, not head coach) knows nothing of his whereabouts when it's quite clear that we're negotiating his sale is bizarre. Either an exec at the club completing the negotiations is underwriting the manager completely (very hard to believe) or there is an unnecessary misdirection played.
End result: That suggests a smear campaign against the player and is an ugly tactic that I would rather the club not take. We've no need to use such negative tactics. If Louis wants him sold, that's done. No reason to create negative PR. Just a simple injury cover up story if one is needed and that's that, keep the transfer in private and deal with things with some class, whether or not you believe the player has acted accordingly or not.
Fwiw, I fully expect that behind the scenes ADM has had a hissy fit at the burglary, the positions he was played in and the lack of starts. He's clearly receptive to a move away and has been for months. Just wish we'd dealt with it all better, far better.

Absolute shite, if he plays anything other than a League Cup game, not only will I be shocked - but also bricking my pants.
Swap for Thiago Silva. Everyone happy.
I agree.
The guy is from here, ffs: https://news.vice.com/article/los-monos-the-drug-gang-of-rosario-argentinas-most-violent-city
But he doesn't. LvG said he wanted to keep him and expected to see him in America, if anything the little prick has got off lightly. He is no better than Sterling, and I would love to sling him in the reserves for a year, watch him get kicked around and then sell him for £15mil next season. I would actually pay for MUTV to seem him sniveling in those games.
He only signed last year, no heart, no commitment, utter, utter mercenary.
I never said anything about LVG booking flights. The poster had already clarified that it was a typo.
There is a lot of truth in this .
Some people here saying it's a smear campaign against this rodent 
.
Don't forget your tin foil hats.

Nail on the head.
I'm so disappointed in ADM. I defended him throughout the season, but for the reasons you've stated above it really becomes hard to defend him. You can see why he doesn't fit into LVG's plans, he'll suit PSG perfectly and no doubt will start putting in world class performances again, the lily-livered shitehawk.
Mendes does well out of this doesn't he?
Yep. I remember being called out by somebody for suggesting this around Christmas time. It was obvious as early as then.
This thread is just itching for some photoshoppers to do their magic! "Where's Di Maria/Wally" anyone?
The more pertinent question here is: why do you read VICENews?
Same.
What shirt though?

There was always a fake Wally, maybe that one should be red.
If anything I don't think they are very desperate to bring him in, and there's virtually no competition to sign him. Very hard to raise the price when it's like that, especially after a season like last year for him.
I blame him, if you dont want to be somewhere dont sign, coulda just done that at real, fought for his place
Hope your not suggesting the guy that 'accepted' the offer has no blame
He coulda just stayed at RM and fought for his place there, but no he thought he'd be gaurenteed games and a big pay packet
Not the case so he just goes all hurt child and huffs in the corner feck him, im sure him and his agent gave a good talk about him wanting to join or we wouldnt have signed hom obviously....

Can't say I've ever deliberately gone to the site to browse it, but it's hard to avoid links there these days.
Can sometimes be quite entertaining, tbf, if you don't take it too seriously.
So, Falcao scores 4 goals for us and takes big wages. A mercenary if I ever saw one. And a useless one, at that. This guy got a standing ovation.
Di Maria, who provided much entertainment in his first few games for us and scored many goals and made many assists - is being given such harsh treatment on this forum?
This makes no sense to me.
Guys, Di Maria is human. He tried to play for us, but like Falcao, the English game/weather just doesnt suit him. Falcao managed to get a deal done with Chelsea and Di Maria is getting a deal in Paris.
Let the guy go and focus your attention on the players who will be playing for us.
