Despite a promising start, his time at Manchester United was marred by injuries and inconsistency and he therefore left the club after a single season.  Di Maria joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2015 and became an integral part of the team's success.
He formed a formidable attacking trio with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe and helped PSG dominate French football, winning multiple Ligue 1 titles, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, and reaching the UEFA Champions League final.
