At 7 years old, he started training in the local club's sports academy, but when 13 years old, he joined another club- Rosario Central. At the age of 17 he joined the team's main squad and made his debut. Within a couple of years the player had caught the interest of great European football clubs. He almost signed a contract with the Russian Rubin, but at the last moment the deal was withdrawn.

During two seasons he played 50 matches for the club. He played in more than 230 matches of different levels, starting from the second tier league of Argentinean championship to the Olympic Games. Many of his goals were key, either winning goals for his team or scoring in the most crucial moments, costing opponents their victories. On 26 August 2014, Ángel di María signed a five-year deal with Manchester for reportedly the fifth most expensive transfer of all time and the highest fee ever paid by a British club.
