Reports suggest Angel Di Maria is set for PSG medical

United paid a British record £59.7m fee to Real Madrid to sign Di Maria last August and are understood to be looking for a figure closer to what they spent to sanction his departure.

Former Chelsea character David Luiz, who played alongside Angel Di Maria at Benfica is desperate for the two to reunite in France, as the Brazilian believes the Argentinian would “make us stronger”.

PSG boss Laurent Blanc has admitted that the Ligue 1 champions are locked in negotiations with United over the purchase of Di Maria, but Van Gaal has chosen to stay coy on the situation.

United gave Di Maria permission to speak to PSG after agreeing a 63million euro (£44.3million) fee with the big-spending French club. We may also close comments on articles which are being targeted for abuse.

“I don’t know”, said Van Gaal, per Cross.

Di Maria is not the only problem Van Gaal has at present.

Although Louis van Gaal was frustrated by the individual errors that led to Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, the manager was pleased by his team’s performance and hoped the result would eventually prove beneficial.

Signed on a free transfer, Sergio Romero now looks set to become United’s number one after speculation that David de Gea is closing in on his move to Real Madrid.

He said: “More or less 4-3-3”.

While Van Gaal’s tinkered with his lineup as the Premier League campaign looms, all but one of his players, Sean Goss, has seen the field.

Luiz insists he has not spoken to Di Maria about moving to PSG.

This may come as a little frightening news to fans who saw Daley blind as a makeshift centre-back so far in this tour of America, especially since they now take on the side with the best ratio of goals to games in the competition.

“Also, a benefit of this year’s tour is that we don’t have any injuries”.

Of Shaw’s own goal, the Dutchman said: “Poor I can not say but he made a mistake”.

“That the midfielder is [sometimes] in front of the striker is not bad because I think you do need variation in your attack”, said van Gaal. The Scot told MUTV: “He has settled down fine, I spoke to him today”.

Sky sources understand United want more than the £44m figure quoted in several national newspapers on Friday and are aiming to secure a deal around the £50m mark for the 27-year-old.
