Van Gaal unsure of Di Maria's United future
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is unsure whether Paris Saint-Germain target Angel di Maria will remain at the club.
Angel di Maria is set to link up with his Manchester United team-mates in the United States on July 25, but manager Louis van Gaal does not know where the winger will be playing in 2015-16.
Di Maria's brief spell at Old Trafford appears to be coming to an end, with the Argentina international reportedly close to joining French champions Paris Saint-Germain, after coach Laurent Blanc confirmed the club's interest.
The unsettled 27-year-old is resting after being granted an extended break following Argentina's Copa America campaign in Chile, where he suffered a hamstring injury in the tournament final.
