Angel Di Maria: Manchester United flop pretends to drink beer thrown at him and appears to shout ‘f*** off’ to home fans
Paris Saint-Germain put one foot in the Champions League quarter finals by beating Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford in the first leg of their round of 16 tie.
Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe netted for an under-strength PSG as they inflicted a first defeat on the Red Devils since caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of the club.
However, it was former United man Angel Di Maria who was the busiest man on the night.
His Old Trafford return started pretty badly after being bundled into the advertising hoardings by former team-mate Ashley Young, and the Argentine needed lengthy treatment after the incident.
The home crowd were in no mood to be sympathetic but this seemed to inspire Di Maria to silence them.
Two quickfire goals from PSG in the second-half put them in a commanding position and the man who provided the assists for both strikes was… yes, you guessed it, Di Maria!
And it was after the first goal where cameras appeared to catch Di Maria fire a barrage of expletives at the United fans.
It’s not fully clear what was said – some believe he shouted ‘f**k off’ – and you can have a look at the video below to judge for yourself.
There were also some unsavoury scenes in between both goals when a group of United fans on the other corner of the ground threw a bottle of beer at their former player’s direction.
Di Maria took it pretty well, however, electing to pick the bottle up and pretend to drink it.
Di Maria made light of the taunting throughout the match, and the Red Devils flop will be overjoyed he had the last laugh against his former team.
