Louis van
Gaal has admitted he does not know where Manchester United’s record
signing Angel Di Maria is, with the Argentine’s transfer to Paris
Saint-Germain edging towards a conclusion.
Di Maria
failed to report back for pre-season training as planned on July 25,
with Van Gaal confirming he had not boarded a plane to meet his
team-mates in San Jose as planned.
And after
United went down 2-0 to PSG in a pre-season game in Chicago on Wednesday
night, the Dutchman claimed to have no idea of his player’s
whereabouts, while his opposite number Laurent Blanc revealed that talks
are at an advanced stage.
“I
don’t know where he is,” Van Gaal admitted to a press conference after
the International Champions Cup clash at Soldier Field, but Blanc was
able to shed more light on the 27-year-old’s situation.
“Manchester
United and Paris Saint-Germain are two big clubs, and negotiations can
be difficult but we are close to an end,” confirmed the Frenchman.
Di Maria
moved to Old Trafford in a £59.7 million move from Real Madrid in August
2014, but struggled to fully adapt after a promising start and made
only 20 starts in the Premier League last season.
