Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria has insisted his move to Old Trafford was not money driven.
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti heavily criticised the Argentine playmaker, saying he made his £59.1m move to Man United after demanding more money with the reigning European champions.
However, Di Maria has countered those claims and said that he is not concerned by money and only wants to do well for his new club.
“I have these amazing feelings about having moved to Man United,” Di Maria told The Mirror.
“I’m so proud of myself, you know. It’s hard to explain it and put it in words. I wanted to wear this shirt.
“And it is so nice for me to wear the number seven shirt. It was worn by some of the greatest players in the club’s history and I do know that it is a huge thing for all Man United fans.
“I think people here are happy with me. So I must honour this shirt. I must confess that I had all these expectations – but Man United have exceeded my expectations. It has all been perfect for me so far.”
