Maria is not the first to express dissatisfaction with life in Manchester. In the past, Jorgelina Cardoso, the wife of former United winger Angel Di Maria, was open about her unhappy experience in the city. Speaking in a 2022 interview with Argentinean TV channel LAM, Jorgelina narrated how she and Di Maria frequently argued about their move from Real Madrid, saying: "We fought about it... We try to be closer when things go wrong. I don't blame him for going there. It was horrible, so horrible. I just told him: 'Darling, I want to kill myself, it's night time at two o'clock.'"
