Former Man Utd star Angel Di Maria in tears as he returns to former club.
Di Maria Calls Rosario Move the ‘Highlight’ of His Career
Angel Di Maria couldn’t hold back his emotions as he returned to his boyhood club Rosario Central. The Argentine winger has signed a one-year deal with the club where it all began.
He has had a brilliant career, a life of silverware throughout Europe. He has won a World Cup, a UCL title with Real Madrid, 5 Ligue 1 trophies with PSG, and domestic trophies with Benfica in Portugal. Di Maria has acknowledged that rejoining Rosario is the greatest moment of his footballing life.
After Eighteen years, he is back in his hometown in central Argentina. He stood proudly before the Rosario fans, overwhelmed with emotion. He had been close to rejoining last year. But, a string of death threats reportedly linked to drug gangs delayed his dream return.
Man Utd Spell a Low Point in a Star-Studded Career
Despite his global success, Di Maria’s short stay at Manchester United remains a dark spot on his career. He was signed for a then-British record fee of £59 million from Real Madrid in 2014. The expectations were sky-high. But the Argentine winger found it tough to settle in the PL. He only managed to score four goals in 32 games.
A year later, Man Utd sold him to PSG at a £15 million loss. Many fans still consider his time at Old Trafford as poor. However, Di Maria bounced back strongly in Paris. He gained trophies and became a star player for club and country.
He now has a rich trophy cabinet and local hero’s heart, and aims to play for Rosario Central. His return is a experience filled with passion, legacies, and unfulfilled dreams.
