Absent again as Manchester United this time faced PSG, Angel Di Maria is set to complete his move away from Old Trafford imminently according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
The 27 year old’s move has gathered speed in the past week, with him pulling a no show for United’s pre season tour of America. Speaking after United’s 2-0 loss against PSG last night manager louis Van Gaal claimed he didn’t know where Di Maria was.
But that is unlikely, especially with Balague’s claims. The reality is that Di Maria was likely wrapping up his move to the French capital, a claim substantiated by Balague’s tweets on the matter this morning.
Sky Sports pundit Balague claimed with some certainty:
The di Maria deal to PSG was all done and dusted yesterday in Paris.

The di Maria deal agreed with PSG yesterday is for a €63m fee (£44.2m)

The whole matter is rather disappointing given Di Maria has seemingly fled at the first sign of adversity and the tiny fee that United will recover, having paid almost £20m more last summer.
