Manchester United’s Michael Carrick Happy To See Youngster Sean Goss Get

The build-up to the match had been dominated by speculation surrounding United’s unsettled Argentinian star Angel di Maria, who is expected to complete a move to PSG imminently.

Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of finalising a £44.1 million deal for Ángel Di María after reaching an agreement in principle with United during talks in the French capital on Wednesday.

The Argentina worldwide joined the Red Devils from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee last summer, but endured a hard debut season in England’s top flight.

The veteran midfielder insists that he loves seeing youngsters getting first-team opportunities and for Goss to come out and play for the Red Devils was a bonus in many ways. “We will have to wait and see and I don’t want to interfere [in the discussions]”.

“He helps on the defensive side, he knows how to assist, and to score goals”.

Edinson Cavani’s name has cropped up in the United rumour mill plenty of times this summer – despite Louis van Gaal not being too keen on him – and he is “committed” to PSG.

Express.co.uk reports that with a Di Maria deal in place with the French club, United are now looking to sign Barcelona’s Pedro Rodriguez to replace the Argentine.

There were many happy faces at United in May when Pereira committed his future to the club by signing a new three-year contract despite interest from PSG.

“Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are two big clubs, and negotiations can be hard but we are close to an end”, confirmed the Frenchman.

United’s next match is their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on August 8.

Told of these comments, Van Gaal said: “I don’t know because I’m not the same manager as Laurent Blanc“.

“So I think I shall play Shaw with Blind and Matteo Darmian and then the right central defenders position I have to consider”.
