Various reports suggest that Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Real Madrid and Argentina star Angel Di Maria.
United have been strongly linked with the attacking midfielder, as Van Gaal is reportedly willing to bolster his attacking options ready for the start of the new season.
And now it is understood that only a transfer fee needs to be agreed with the two clubs to allow Di Maria move to Old Trafford.
PSG, Monaco and two Italian teams have all expressed an interest in the Argentine star, but it is Manchester United how have made advancements to capture the wanted winger.
It is believed that Madrid are after at least £40m for their player, who will be free to sort out his future after the World Cup final on Sunday.
