Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Angel di Maria has recognised he was desperate to leave Manchester United to join the French champions after an ill-fated solo season in England. Di Maria's near £60 million ($92 million) move from Real Madrid to United in 2014 remains a British transfer record. The Argentine failed to live up to the form he had shown in Madrid's Champions League winning campaign in 2014, though, as he left having scored just four goals in 32 appearances.
