The Argentina international has revealed his feelings towards the Spanish outfit and says he still admires the Liga club despite being forced out in the summer of 2014

Angel Di Maria has admitted he never wanted to leave Real Madrid for Manchester United, declaring his admiration and respect for his former club.

The Argentine winger, now at Paris Saint-Germain, joined United from the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2014 for £59.7m but failed to settle in England, lasting just one season before a move to the French capital.

Di Maria will return to Madrid as a PSG player for their Champions League group game on November 3 and claimed he was forced out of the club.

"My intention was always to stay at Real Madrid," he told Marca.

"I didn't have much relationship with [club president] Florentino Perez."
