Manchester United are close to
agreeing a deal with Real Madrid for
Angel Di Maria.
The Argentina international is keen to
work under Louis van Gaal at Old
Trafford and an agreement in principle over personal terms has been
reached between United and the player.
But Madrid value Di Maria at €56 million, while United had initially
hoped to secure the forward for a fee in the region of €37m.
Talks are set to resume next week with both Madrid and United
confident that an agreement can be reached over a suitable transfer
fee.
The 26-year-old would be United’s third signing of the summer
following the arrival of midfielder Ander Hererra and former
Southampton full-back Luke Shaw.
Goal understands Van Gaal is also keen for United to continue their
pursuit of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal as the Dutchman
overhauls a squad which finished seventh in the Premier League last
season.
Di Maria is currently recovering from a thigh injury and is battling to
be fit for Argentina’s World Cup final against Germany on Sunday.
When questioned about his future at Madrid, Di Maria insisted last
month that he wished to be kept in the dark by his agent.
"I've asked my agent not to tell me anything about the talks he's
having," he told reporters. "I don't know what's going to happen with
my career.
"I don't want to know anything about my future right now. I'm
focusing on my national team and not on what's going on
elsewhere."

Di Maria?
Wahala dey o.

These are all rumours. In as much as I want Di Maria to sign for man utd, another news says Di Maria has rejected Man utd due to lack of champions league football. One thing I'm sure of, if United must get him, he won't come cheap considering he won't be playing champions league. United better hurry up and pay whatever Madrid asks or they might lose him.
