Di Maria wants out of Madrid: Ancelotti
Friday, 22 August 2014
MADRID, Aug 21 (AFP): Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that midfielder Angel di Maria has asked to leave the European champions before the end of the transfer window.
The 26-year-old Argentine -- who missed the World Cup final defeat by Germany because of injury -- was a star performer as Real claimed their 10th European crown last season, but has fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu due to the arrivals of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos.
Several top clubs including Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing him. "I am surprised to read that there is a disagreement between myself and the club," Ancelotti said on Thursday.
