Di Maria 'refuses to sign Madrid shirt'

Manchester United star Angel di Maria reportedly refused to sign a Real Madrid shirt while at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich last night.

The 26-year-old moved to Old Trafford last summer for a reported £59.7m fee after the Spanish giants recruited Colombian World Cup star James Rodriguez.

Despite spending four years at the Bernabeu, Di Maria decided against signing a fan's Madrid shirt while writing autographs on the red carpet at the ceremony in Switzerland, according to 101greatgoals.com.

The Argentine watched his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo be crowned the winner ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
