'It was horrible. The people are all weird, the food is disgusting, the women look like porcelain': Angel Di Maria's wife slams Manchester in bizarre outburst

The wife of former Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria - Jorgelina - has revealed that she pleaded with the Argentine international not to seal a move to Old Trafford back in 2014 over fears of living in England.

United, who sealed their first win of the season on Monday night, beating arch rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford, smashed the British transfer record in August 2014, signing the winger for almost £60million. It was a statement signing by the club and it brought Di Maria's your-year spell at Real Madrid to an end.
