Angel Di Maria sells £4.1million mansion

Burglars used scaffolding poles to smash their way in to his home through patio doors while the Argentina winger, his wife Jorgelina and one-year-old daughter Mia were at the Cheshire mansion.

Now the sprawling home, which Di Maria rents from a private landlord, has been put on the market for £4.1million amid reports that his wife is too scared to return to the property. 

The home of Manchester United star Angel Di Maria has been put up for sale just weeks after he suffered a terrifying raid while eating dinner with his family inside. 

Burglars used scaffolding poles to smash their way in to his home through patio doors while the Argentina winger, his wife Jorgelina and one-year-old daughter Mia were at the Cheshire mansion.

Now the sprawling home, which Di Maria rents from a private landlord, has been put on the market for £4.1million amid reports that his wife is too 

scared to return to the property. 

Di Maria and his family reportedly moved into a luxury hotel after the incident with round-the-clock security keeping them safe. They now look set to move away for good, with the luxury mansion up for sale.

It has also been suggested that a recent drop in form can be attributed to the break-in. 

The Daily Mail's Martin Samuel writes: 'Searching for clues to the recent decline of Angel di Maria, the break-in that occurred at his house in 

January cannot be overlooked. Di Maria’s form had dropped off before that, true, but not as alarmingly as it has in recent weeks. 

'He wasn’t getting hooked at half-time before this event. 

'Alvaro Negredo suffered a similarly shattering blow that ended his family’s love for their new country. He was not the same player after it happened. 

Di Maria is believed to be relocating his family to a new, high-level apartment following their traumatic experience.' 

The estate agent's advert says: 'Magnificent mansion set in well-manicured grounds in the heart of Prestbury on a private road.

'Indoor swimming pool with glass panels into the sitting room and hallway which truly envelopes the pool into the heart of the house.'

The home also boasts a plush kitchen and family room, with French doors leading to a huge garden.

There is also a sitting room with a drop-down screen, a children's TV room, a play room, an office, a gym, changing room, an indoor pool and jacuzzi and a two-bedroom apartment over the garage.

The fully-furnished home is described as 'very high-spec and high-tech'.
