Former Barcelona coach Carles Rexach claims Real Madrid sold
Angel Di Maria to Manchester United because he was 'too ugly' to play
for them.
Di Maria joined United from Real for £59.7m in the summer after
helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side to win the Champions League but Rexach
has made the bizarre claim that the real reason he was sold was because
he didn't fit in with the Galacticos' pretty boy image.
Rexach,
who played for Barcelona and coached the side in 2001, says Madrid
president Florentino Perez is trying to sell an 'international brand'
and that includes having good looking players in their squad.
Rexach
told Spanish media outlet Regio7: "Florentino Perez looks at the world
market and wants a team of Galacticos for everyone to admire. Do you
understand what I mean?"
"Ronaldo is the flagship of the club. Perez is selling an
international brand. Vicente del Bosque and Di Maria are too ugly for
Real Madrid. They are different from Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez."
Rexach,
who is tipped for a role as a director in a shake-up taking place at
the Nou Camp, has a track record of making bizarre claims after also
saying that the real reason Lionel Messi wasn't at his best for
Barcelona last season was because he 'ate more pizza than he should
have'.
