Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he “does not know why” Angel Di Maria has not joined up with his team on their pre-season tour.<\/p>\n
French paper L’Equipe reports United have agreed a \u00a346.5m deal with Paris St-Germain for the 27-year-old Argentina midfielder.<\/p>\n
But it is understood talks are ongoing with a fee yet to be agreed.
\n“He was not on the plane,” said Van Gaal after the 3-1 friendly win over Barcelona in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n
“Marcos Rojo was also not on the plane. He has had a passport issue – for Angel Di Maria, I don’t know why. I cannot say anything.”
\nVan Gaal said on Friday that Di Maria would join United on their pre-season tour of the United States, despite rumours about a move to French champions PSG.<\/p>\n
However, it has now been claimed the midfielder, who moved to the Premier League from Real Madrid last summer for a British record \u00a359.7m, will travel to New Jersey – where PSG are based during their tour of America – for a medical with the Ligue 1 club.<\/p>\n
