PSG beat Manchester United in Chicago
Reports in France claim that PSG will pay around 65 million euros (£46million) for the Argentina worldwide, who failed to settle at United past year.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper wants to join Real Madrid but United have said they will not discuss a deal unless Real defender Sergio Ramos is included.
He did admit that David de Gea’s ongoing transfer saga was beginning to cause problems after the Spaniard made a mistake to allow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score, saying: “I cannot say he (De Gea) did not make a mistake”.
Despite the loss, van Gaal said he was pleased with United’s performance as they build up towards their season-opening clash with Tottenham on August 8.
“I’m really satisfied with the performance”. You lose, maybe that’s also good, but last year we have won everything [in pre-season] and then we lost the first match. “Maybe you know? I don’t know that either”.
Despite being named in United’s party for the final stage of United’s American tour, di Maria was not in the matchday squad with his manager, Louis van Gaal, still insisting that he does not know where the £59.7million Argentinian midfielder is.
Victory over United – coupled with earlier wins over Benfica and Fiorentina – saw PSG lift the global Champions Cup, but Ibrahimovic has his sights set on grander prizes- starting with the Trophee des Champions against Lyon in Montreal on Saturday.
Ibrahimovic and Maxwell played a brilliant give-and-go for PSG’s second goal in the 34th minute.
French worldwide Matuidi raced forward and got between Luke Shaw and Phil Jones to toe-poke home past the onrushing David De Gea to make it 1-0. Therefore, we could very well see Sergio Romero having his debut against Spurs.
The Manchester United manager has signed attacking players in Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay leaving fans with one question – where will they fit in?
“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.
Louis van Gaal accepted that David De Gea may want to leave Manchester United as he contemplated a problematic situation that he described as “not favourable” for anyone.
