Florentino won't allow Di Maria to force Real Madrid sale

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez insists the club won't be pushed around by Angel di Maria.

El Confidencial says Perez is furious with the behaviour of Di Maria and his camp over complaints about the blocking of a move to AS Monaco.

Perez is now planning to back coach Carlo Ancelotti and resist offers for Di Maria next month.

It will mean the Argentine playing little more than a bit-part role as he acts as cover for Gareth Bale in the second-half of the season.
