Manchester United star HIDING in Argentina until £40m move is completed

Posted by

Manchester United star Angel Di Maria is hiding in Argentina until a move to PSG has been agreed, reports the Daily Star.

Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal recently admitted that he doesn’t know where the 27-year-old is, but it seems that he has now been located. The Argentina international is nursing an injury that he picked up in the Copa America, and won’t leave the country until it is time for him to have a medical and sign a contract with the Ligue 1 champions. They are going to sign him for £40 million according to the Daily Mail.

“He is still in Argentina. I don’t know if he keeps missing flights so he doesn’t have to join up with the United squad, but he’s still in Argentina – he’s nursing the injury picked up in the Copa America final,” French football expert Julien Laurens said, “He’s waiting for the deal to be agreed between both clubs and then he’ll fly over to Paris to pass a medical and sign his contract – I think he will stay in Argentina until the deal is announced.

“PSG have been optimistic for the last month and a half but it seems it’s getting closer and closer now, especially between his agent Jorge Mendes and the club.”

The former Real Madrid man looks likely to be leaving Old Trafford despite having managed 10 assists and four goals in his debut season. The player became unsettled after a break in at his home [Daily Telegraph], and this may have led to his departure. Although form may have had something to do with it, with Ashley Young having taken his place in the team by the end of the campaign.

If Di Maria ends up leaving United, then they will need to bring in a replacement. Barcelona ace Pedro has been linked with a move [Daily Express], and being able to play on both wings could be perfect for the job.
