Argentine footballer Angel di Maria has revealed that his difficult relationship with coach Louis Van Gaal was the prime reason for his departure from Manchester United.

Di Maria said that he didn't get very well with the coach and added that his decision to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was the best solution at that point of time, the Guardian reported.

The 27-year-old also admitted that the last season was tough for him as he did not perform well during the Champion league.

Di Maria, however, insisted that he was now hundred percent satisfied with his new club.

Earlier, Van Gaal had signed Di María from Real Madrid in August 2014 worth 59 million pounds. But in August 2015 the player joined Paris for 44.3 million pounds.
