Manchester hits back! After Angel di Maria's wife slammed 's***' city with 'disgusting' food and 'weird' people, mayor Andy Burnham's office criticise £60m flop and brand his partner 'sour and bitter'

A Manchester adviser has hit back at Angel Di Maria's wife Jorgelina Cardoso who insulted the city.

Di Maria's wife revealed this week the awful time she had in England when her husband played for Manchester United.

Speaking to Spanish morning show Los Angeles de la Manana, Cardoso spoke about all the things she hated in Manchester following his ill-fated £59.7million move from Real Madrid in 2014.

'I begged Angel, any place but England,' she said. 'And one year later we were in Manchester, s***.'

When asked about what exactly was wrong with Manchester, she didn't have much nice to say about the city.
