Real Madrid president Perez takes aim at Man Utd ace Di Maria

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has taken a swipe at new Manchester United signing Angel di Maria. The Argentina winger, 26, penned an open letter to the Bernabeu fans claiming he didn't want to leave.

But Perez hit out and suggested that Di Maria was being greedy.

He said: "Perhaps he [Di Maria] had financial demands that were greater than what was able to be offered."

Perez's claims comes just days after it emerged he's fallen out with Di Maria's agent, Jorge Mendes, over United's deal for Radamel Falcao.
