Blanc: Di Maria 'close' to Paris Saint-Germain move

Laurent Blanc claims Paris Saint-Germain are close to completing the signing ofManchester United midfielder Angel Di Maria.

United's tour of the United States ended on a disappointing note in the early hours of Thursday morning as they lost 2-0 to PSG in Chicago.

Despite being named in United's party for the final stage of United's tour, Di Maria was not in the matchday squad.

In fact, the 27-year-old's whereabouts remain a mystery to his manager Louis van Gaal.

The Dutchman claimed he had no idea why Di Maria did not report for duty in the States as expected last

Saturday and his stance had not changed when asked about the £59.7million midfielder on Thursday.
