Di Maria missed his scheduled flight to meet up with his Manchester United team-mates for pre-season training last weekend, with Van Gaal openly conceding he did not know where his winger was.

Unfortunately for Manchester United fans, an Angel Di Maria move to Paris Saint-Germain looks more likely than ever, as tension grows between Van Gaal and the former Real Madrid winger.
Di Maria is known to have struggled to embrace Van Gaal’s methods, while the player’s wife has been unsettled in Manchester since a burglary at the couple’s Cheshire mansion in January. The Dutchman showed he has an eye for goal, too, capitalising on a defensive error to score his maiden United goal in San Jose. “That’s not poor. Everybody can make mistakes but when a goalkeeper makes a mistake it is mostly a goal and that’s the difference”.
“Manchester United and PSG are two big clubs and negotiations can be hard but we are close to the end”, Blanc said.
“
I still don’t think they know their best partnership at the back
– maybe someone will come in before the start of the season“, Macari told talkSPORT.
The build-up to the match had been dominated by speculation surrounding United’s unsettled Argentinian star Angel di Maria, who is expected to complete a move to PSG imminently.
In fact, the 27-year-old’s whereabouts remain a mystery to his manager Louis van Gaal.
If Di Maria actually moves to PSG, he may find it easy to rediscover his Real Madrid form.
“I find it disgraceful, I really do, ‘ says Hill”. “He also asked me many questions about the club, the city and the way of life for his family”.
“I played with him in Benfica”.

However, Sky sources also understand United are actively pursuing a replacement for Di Maria and Van Gaal could yet add further to his attacking options with Barcelona forward Pedro among the players he is monitoring.
