# Manchester United: Angel Di Maria jibe at Red Devils over number 7 shirt has supporters fuming

**Speaking to [Ligue De Football via the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7967399/Angel-di-Maria-hits-Manchester-United-making-wear-No-7-shirt.html), former Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria has hit out at his ex-club over making him wear the number 7 shirt, claiming he ‘[didn’t get a choice](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7967399/Angel-di-Maria-hits-Manchester-United-making-wear-No-7-shirt.html)‘ – with many Red Devils supporters since hitting back.\**

Di Maria, who made 32 appearances for United in all competitions whilst notching four goals and 12 assists during his time at the club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angel-di-maria/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/45320)), left Old Trafford just one year after he signed for a then-British record [£59.7 million](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28926665). Since then, the Argentine has gone on to play [211](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angel-di-maria/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/45320) games for Paris Saint-Germain – scoring [80 goals and assisting 85 others](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angel-di-maria/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/45320) over an impressive haul.

However, four years after he departed Manchester, Di Maria has seemingly taken a swipe at his former club for making him wear the number 7 shirt over his preferred number 11 – with many United fans in utter dismay at the [‘disrespectful](https://twitter.com/likeitlmao/status/1225176258310438912?s=21)‘ revelation.
