Di Maria’s wife dismisses rumours he is unhappy in Manchester

By Scott Saunders

Manchester United record signing Angel Di Maria is happy at Manchester United, according to his wife.

Reports have emerged recently that former club Real Madrid are interested in bringing the player back to Spain – less that six months after selling him to United for £59.7m. United legend Paul Scholes has also recently stoked up rumours that Di Maria is not as happy at United as he was in Madrid.

That is not the case though, despite the fact that Di Maria has been struggling for form in recent weeks. His blistering start to life at Old Trafford has somewhat waned as he has been shifted into a number of positions under Louis van Gaal.

His wife, Jorgelina Cardoso, posted a message to Instagram to refute rumours that Di Maria was having second thoughts about the move to United.

Scholes first suggested that Di Maria looked a little different to last season, in his weekly post for the Independent last week.
He wrote: “My concern is that the mood among the United players feels a bit low-key.
“Preparing for the broadcast of the game in Madrid this (now last) week, I watched reruns of last season and Angel Di Maria smiling broadly as he celebrated goal after goal with Cristiano Ronaldo.

“He doesn’t seem to be in the same happy mood at United. It feels downbeat among the team.
“All this, and yet the third and fourth places – with respect to the likes of Southampton and West Ham – really are there for the taking.”

The 26-year old played around 70 minutes for United against Crystal Palace on Saturday, helping United to a 1-0 win.
