After a new attack on Louis van Gaal as manager of Manchester United, Angel Di Maria called him the worst boss he has ever played for.

The first player Van Gaal bought at Old Trafford was Di Maria from Real Madrid for £60 million.

But Di Maria couldn’t get back to his best in Manchester, so he left the next year for PSG.

The Argentine player has done well at almost every club in his long and successful career. But things didn’t go well at United, and he seems to think Van Gaal is mostly to blame.

When asked by ESPN Argentina, Di Maria said, “You can be sure that Van Gaal is the worst manager.” I’ll clear that up for you right now, just in case you were confused.

Di Maria and Van Gaal have been friendly ever since Di Maria left Old Trafford almost ten years ago.

Van Gaal followed Di Maria out of the club the next year, in 2016. He has since said that the winger’s problems at United were caused by him not being able to handle the pressure of the Premier League.

In 2019, Van Gaal told BBC Sport, “Di Maria says it was my fault.” I played him in all of the striking spots.

“You can look into that.” He never got me to agree with any of those points of view.

“He couldn’t handle the steady pressure on the ball in the Premier League.” That was the matter with him.

Di Maria also named the teachers who have had the most impact on his career. He chose two coaches from his own country, one of whom was Alejandro Sabella, an ex-Leeds midfielder.

After joining the club in 1980, Sabella played for a year at Elland Road before becoming a manager. From 2011 to 2014, he was the coach of the Argentine national team. They made it to the World Cup final, but Germany beat them.

The current manager of Argentina, Lionel Scaloni, went even further when he took the South American country to their third World Cup victory two years ago. Di Maria also named Scaloni one of his best coaches. 

“Scaloni, without a doubt,” Di Maria said. He’s a great coach in every way. His team, his relationship with the players, and the way he runs the games are all perfect. He’s great, in my opinion.

Also, Alejandro Sabella was a boss who made a big difference in my life and taught me a lot. 

“After that, it’s hard.” I had a lot of teachers, like Ancelotti and Mourinho. You can’t pick a favorite boss because I played for so many good ones.
