Andreas Pereira On Why Di Maria Failed At Manchester United 🤔

Andreas Pereira talks about former Manchester United teammate Angel Di Maria's transfer to the club in 2014 and why he did not reach the expectations there after great success at Real Madrid for the previous 5 years. Pereira mentions Di Marias wonder chip against Leicester and how when he first arrived he had high hopes. #shorts #football #soccer #sports #manchesterunited #realmadrid #dimaria #premierleague #epl

[@jimjones3287]

It sounds like the team was expecting him to win the league for them by himself. I think that's the pressure. Whereas at Madrid you have other great teammates to help win the trophies. United are still expecting to get a CR7 type player that can do everything on his own. That happens once in a lifetime.

Happened to plenty of PL players, Reece James, Sterling, Isak, Grealish just off the top of my head.... 2 of them are UCL winners, two PL winners, a treble winner and a very talented player in Isak. People like you make me laugh, some players just can't hack the PL and he was one of many. Some successful players who came from abroad just can't hack it the PL. Forlan, Brolin, Kezman, Shevchenko, Veron etc. All had success abroad, all have good resumes but ALL flopped in England.

@@davidstephenson164 he was unreal until this incident then his family left and he wanted to leave Manchester asap. Did everything he could to make the club sell him. It’s not often Man United don’t cling onto an expensive signing…in fact Di Maria is the only example. Why have you mentioned the “UCL winners” James and Grealish were both burgled AFTER winning a UCL medal….but you seem to imply that they overcame adversity of a burglary and won the Champions League. Quite embarrassing really 😂 I’d be deleting that quicksmart. It’s nothing to do with their form but let’s assess it anyway. Since being burgled Reece James has hardly played football. Since being burgled Sterling has lost all form and even his place in the England squad. Since being burgled Grealish has been on the periphery of the first team for Man City. So yeah, these are moot points but they do make you look really really stupid.

It’s not pressure for playing for Man Utd at all (especially coming from a lot of better top teams) it’s the fact they get paid obscene money from desperate owners to join them thinking it will be a quick fix by signing top players with big reps and then these lot relax as they realise they can mess around the weak managers that the Glazers employ and they want to relax on big contracts after playing to high level for a top team for so long. Fergie would never have let players have all this power over him and the club, Moureen was the only one who was of that ilk and tried to rid them of lazy players like Marrial and Pogba etc but guess what he was overruled by the Glazers who think they know better and don’t want to sell an expensive “asset” on the cheap but eventually they have to sell them cheap or for free! And so the saga continues every season! They only let Ronaldo go the second time for undermining the manager as ETH was making improvements and the team was showing signs of challenging for trophies again, he also wanted to get rid of players that undermined his authority but most of them end up staying over the manager. Sancho Antony Martial and Depay etc had something to prove being young tho but they ended up relaxing too as they received the money before earning it at Man Utd and saw the lazy big players around them and thought yeah this is more fun!

[@elr492]

The thing with Di Maria is that he's a v inconsistent player who's capable of genius. The man can put it in the top corner, break the best defenders' hip or drop elite assits, and still lose many balls during the same game due to faulty controls or bad passing. Because football is a low score game, a genius assist or goal is more important than 5 missed controls, so Di Maria has had a great career. But still, in a big team, you need your star player to be consistent because you'll be trying to play every ball to him. Di Maria has played better when another player is the team star and gets every ball (Ronaldo in RM, Messi in the NT and Neymar in PSG). In those teams, Di Maria can play support and wait for his moment, instead of trying to force it every minute of every game.
