He earned 15 million at United, failed at Old Trafford, how much Angel Di Maria will earn now

In Manchester United's recent past, several players have arrived who promised to be the team's new stars, but ended up falling far short of the expectations placed on them, proving that playing at Old Trafford is no easy feat for the biggest team in England. One of the big disappointments was Angel Di Maria, who arrived from Real Madrid and was never able to rise to the challenge.

Di Maria arrived with the promise of leading Manchester United's resurgence and was even given the honor and responsibility of wearing the number 7 jersey, however, the Argentinean failed to deliver and left just a year after joining the club, despite the fact that the board gave him a great contract in which he earned 15 million euros per season.

However, after failing miserably at Old Trafford, Angel Di Maria left for PSG, where he failed to win the Champions League, and then came to Italy to join Juventus. Now, as a free agent and after winning the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Argentina national team, he was looking for a new team to continue his career and everything seems to indicate that he will return to his first team in European football: Benfica.

How much will Di Maria earn at Benfica?

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Angel Di Maria already has an agreement with Benfica to play for the Portuguese club until June 2024. Given his quality and winning record, the Argentine is expected to be one of the club's highest paid players. Currently the highest salary in the team is €3 million per year, so Di Maria is expected to receive at least a little more than that.
