Angel Di Maria has been in talks for a long time over a potential switch to French giants PSG but reports have emerged that the Red Devils are looking to hijack the deal.
Reports suggest United are to offer the Argentine £120,000 a week in order to tempt him away from the Parc des Princes, which is £50,000 more than he currently earns at Real Madrid, a price PSG are not willing to massively go over.
United have made their offer quite late but Di Maria is still yet to announce where he will be playing his football next season and van Gaal could still snatch up the Champions League winners’ signature.
It is claimed that Louis van Gaal is a long admirer of the winger and would like to have him in the United squad in order to bolster the attack and have sufficient ammunition if they are to challenge for the title next season.
