“Negotiations are ongoing, but as Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain are both big clubs, that can be hard”. “But we feel we are close to the end”, as per further reports in ESPN FC. Van Gaal refused to elaborate, saying only that he didn’t actually know where Di Maria is.

Losing all respect I had for Di Maria over this.
Di Maria’s time at United has been compared to that of Juan Sebastian Veron but whereas the latter left in cordial circumstances, it seems that the former is determined to force through as unnecessarily acrimonious departure.
So when the transfer window reopened, United have been linked with nearly every player on (and off) the market.
And on the opposite flank by new signing Matteo Darmian, who has quickly made an impression on United fans.
And Van Gaal, who replaced De Gea with Johnstone at half-time against PSG, admitted that the Spanish goalkeeper is showing signs of being distracted by his summer of uncertainty.
Manchester United Manager Louis van Gaal sparred with reporters a little bit towards the end of the postgame press conference tonight. The fact that the Brazilian can play across a front three will help his selection prospects, but he is at his most deadly in the number 10 position, where Van Gaal has a plethora of options.
“Also, a benefit of this year’s tour is that we don’t have any injuries”.
Told of these comments, Van Gaal said: “I don’t know because I’m not the same manager as Laurent Blanc”.
“
I still don’t think they know their best partnership at the back
– maybe someone will come in before the start of the season“. That’s also where I have been satisfied.’.
Van Gaal added that in his experience, the side that scores the first goal has a great possibility to win the first game.

Pedro was 13-1 to become a Manchester United player a couple of weeks ago and, while it is probable he will complete a transfer, it won’t happen next week, apparently.
