Angel Di Maria exit: Regrettable No 7 tattoo set to serve as reminder of failed Manchester United spell

Argentina international on verge of joining PSG

Angel Di Maria made a very strong statement last season that he would not be leaving Manchester United - one which very soon he will surely be regretting.

Following a bright start at Old Trafford following his £59.7m move from Real Madrid, Di Maria began to struggle and by the end of the campaign could not even get into Louis van Gaal's starting XI.

But despite his problems, in April Di Maria offered a strong indication that he saw his future at Manchester United by having his shirt number tattooed onto his arm.

Revealed: Di Maria is not the biggest waste of money in Man Utd history

A '7' was the latest addition to the sleeve of ink on his left arm, corresponding with the famous Manchester United shirt worn by the likes of David Beckham, George Best and Eric Cantona which he was handed following his British record switch.

But Di Maria looks set to leave Manchester United for PSG meaning the tattoo will only serve as a reminder of a failed year at Old Trafford.

He wore number 22 at Real Madrid and looks unlikely to wear 7 at PSG, with Lucas Moura having already claimed the jersey.
