Manchester United have yet to make a bid for the rapid Spaniard but the Old Trafford club know the player is available with his buyout clause at £22m. So do Manchester United really need a striker? That policy clearly needs a rethink.

Furthermore, at United he wasn’t given the chance to be very creative, as Van Gaal required a lot more discipline from the player than Carlo Ancelotti. “It could be one of many things”, the centre-half said.
Meanwhile, United manager Louis van Gaal admitted he has no idea as to the winger’s whereabouts.
Following Paris St Germain’s 2-0 win over Manchester United, both managers were asked about the Angel Di Maria transfer saga. That moment would come in 2004 when Carrick departed for Tottenham Hotspur, but no-one could begrudge the talented England global a big-money move after he had spent a year competing in the Championship in an attempt to get the East London outfit back into the top flight.
The club have also been taking care of the prospects back home by handing new professional contracts to Callum Gribbin, RoShaun Williams, Zach Dearnley and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
Ibrahimovic and Maxwell, the Brazilian defender, played a brilliant give-and-go for PSG’s second goal in the 34th minute.
Sports media outlets in France point out that the signing is imminent, adding that PSG will secure the transfer from United for about 63 million euros ($69.5 million). United were anxious they would lose another talented star in the making as they did with Paul Pogba, who left for Juventus on a free. But he’s shown scant regard for the fans who backed him, and has already decided to run away and hide. He has impressed in the US, scoring his first goal against San Jose Earthquakes and setting up Januzaj against Barcelona.
Defensively, van Gaal revealed he has nearly settled on his preferred line-up. Every time he picked the ball up in the US, he looked risky.

“More or less 4-3-3”, he told the club’s official website.
