Barcelona assistant Director of Football, Carles Rexach has revealed the reason why he thinks Real Madrid sold Di Maria to Manchester United
Angel Di Maria is a man under pressure at the moment as he struggles to find his best form in a Manchester United shirt after returning from injury.
Despite Wayne Rooney coming out to publicly back the United's record signing, the Argentine winger won't be overjoyed reading today's headlines from Spain.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are never short of a little war of words every now and then and Barca's assistant Director of Football, Carles Rexach has taken it to a new level:
"Florentino Perez looks at the world market and wants a team of Galacticos for everyone to admire. Do you understand what I mean? Ronaldo is the flagship of the club. Perez is selling an international brand. Vicente del Bosque and Di Maria are too ugly for Real Madrid. They are different from Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez."
Welllllllll, this is a bit awkward for poor little Angel isn't it? We've got absolutely no idea what Rexach is talking about, he looks perfectly fine in these pictures...

Admittedly, having a nickname of 'the noodle' isn't helpful.
How can he really say Di Maria isn't as good looking as Cristiano Ronaldo?

He just gets a bit excitable every now and then...
He just likes to concentrate a lot when he's playing, nothing wrong with that:
