Di Maria deal close - Blanc

Cape Town -  Angel Di Maria is set to swap Manchester United for Paris St Germain after the club's manager, Laurent Blanc, hinted that the transfer is almost complete.

BBC report that Laurent Blanc is confident of a deal to sign Manchester United star Angel Di Maria.

"There is a good possibility he could sign but there is nothing official," said Blanc. 

"We have to have patience a little longer. The outcome is very close."

The French club are set to splash £46.5 million for Di Maria's services.

There has been some speculation that the Ligue 1 club are struggling to match the wages the Argentinian is currently earning at Old Trafford.

The British news source also report that a fee has not yet been agreed but talks are ongoing.
