Angel di Maria to Old Trafford is on, Agger is off to somewhere in North London (but no bids), Zaha to the Toon...
DI MARIA TO UNITED IS ON
He may not be the ideal answer to what Louis van Gaal and Manchester United need but, if the Arturo Vidal deal is nothing more than smoke, mirrors and bulls**t, the arrival of Angel di Maria at Old Trafford would surely be hugely welcomed by most?
The news that Paris St Germain have officially pulled out of the race to sign Di Maria should come as a shot in the arm for United's hopes of bringing the midfielder to England, with club president Nasser Al Khelaifi admitting that PSG "discussed Angel di Maria with Real Madrid, he was very expensive and we have stopped discussions". So there.
In fairness, this is probably a classic case of Daily Star deliberately jumping to inaccurate conclusions, but we personally wouldn't be that shocked if a move did come off.
Only yesterday, Van Gaal was quoted admitting his admiration for the Argentinean. "It is a strategy of Manchester United to do that. At this moment, we have five No.9s and four No.10s - and we don't have wingers to give us attacking width."
"Or, I should say, we don't have wingers of the highest level, like Ronaldo or Di Maria or somebody like that. So, I have to play in another way - and you have seen that already. I only buy when I think we need to buy - in the position that is necessary."
