Manchester United star Angel di Maria has reportedly put his Cheshire mansion up for sale following last month's attempted break-in.

The Argentine is thought to have been in the Prestbury property with his wife, daughter and mother-in-law when a group of burglars tried to smash the back door and gain entry.

Widespread reports have claimed that his family still feel shaken by the incident, which has sparked rumours that Di Maria could leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

According to the Daily Mail, the rented mansion, worth £4.15m, has been put up for sale after Di Maria and his family opted to move to the Beetham Tower following a short-term stay in The Lowry Hotel in Manchester after the break-in.

The 27-year-old signed for United from Real Madrid for a £59.7m fee last summer.
