Sound plausible?

The article brutally translated:

PSG : Di Maria waited in the US
Angel Di Maria PSG is imminent. The capital club have reached an agreement with leaders Manchester United for the transfer of Argentine international for 65 million euros. The left-hander , who is completing his vacation after having played including the final of the Copa America , is expected to join his new team Friday or Saturday in the US , where it performs its preparation.

The player was already close to joining PSG last summer , but the case was overturned because of the constraints of financial fair play which struck the Parisian club . They are no longer relevant today . Di Maria , 27, had then joined Manchester United for 75 million euros. After just one season at the club (3 goals in 27 Premier League games ), it is going to pack up , especially his family delighted not in Manchester. Paris is waiting with open arms. - N. D. and B. Ro .

Cole and Yorke's FIFA goal against Barcelona in 1998 was just awesome.

Cantona's v Arsenal in April 1996 was special too. Great goal, the dip the ball took was unreal.

Scholes goal against Liverpool in September 98 was class too. The swerve on it into top corner. 4 keepers would not have saved it

4 De Gea's would have

4 Joe Hart's wouldn't

will be gutted to see Di Maria sold. Had a poor second half to the season but I blame both him and LVG for that; I think LVG mismanaged quite a bit in the second half of the season which didn't help at all.

I fear we are losing, potentially, a massive source of creativity in the side. Carrick, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger are all deeper players whom while good on the ball don't have that dynamism. Fellaini doesn't have a creative spark either - leaving, really, just Herrera to carry that central creativity. I don't see Mata as a central midfielder, so not including him there. ADM did play in midfield for Benfica and Madrid, and could have been superb for us there, potentially.

Nope I had to go out and do something, nobody backed me into any corner.

For 60m there can't be ifs, buts or maybes you have to produce week in week out. For whatever reason its not working out. I wouldn't fancy selling him next year for 30million. However I do think it was unfair that lvg treated him harshly for being rubbish when other players continue to get a free ride under him

I'm disappointed.

YET....I would imagine Woodward will be embarrassed slightly by how ADM has flopped, and will be looking hard and quick to replace his name as his record signing. I'm excited to see what happens once ADM goes; I think bids for Bale, Ronaldo or Muller could really go nuts now...

I tried to not debate this a couple of times and as for respectability, what are you on about?

I give facts and people move goal posts and cry fowl and somehow I have lost respectability, I have to question some of you keyboard warriors.

might go nuts on bids, but I don't think the respective clubs have any interest in selling those players and I don't think United have the pull or power to force a move through. Not sure what superstar or potential superstar players would be available that we could go for and get. Pogba is probably the only one I eckon we have a real shot at, and even then we'd be in competition with the top clubs in football, throwing all kinds of cash at him.

Who are the 22-24 year old superstars in the making, that could be signed? I can't think of any of the top of my head (bar Pogba, as stated).

Are you still suffering from a David Moyes hangover?. We don't aspire to be Man City or hope to make it difficult for Newcastle Utd. We're a huge club who should be after the best players in the world not talking ourselves down. We're happy to pay 300k per week. It's about time we paid it to world class players

You are insane if you think we can force Real Madrid to sell us Bale or Ronaldo. Or Munich to sell us Muller. For world class players, at the best teams in the world (which are the ones that were mentioned), United don't have the power to force a move through. If we did, Ramos would be a United player right now, we would have signed Bale from Spurs rather than see him go to Real Madrid.

Financially United are one of the most powerful in football, but that simply doesn't mean we can get any player in football we want, whenever we want. You are a fanboi fool if you think otherwise - the evidence is clear.

Admittedly haven't seen an awful lot of him but Max Meyer maybe? Looked a good player anytime that I did see him. 20 years of age and already up with the German senior side. Then you have the likes of De Bruyne, Lacazzette, Dybala - one who is moving and another who has gone already.

And before you say Bale,Muller,Ronaldo, your post is implying that we are already paying 300k to someone... the second part of the post is a sly dig at the player who shall not be named. Its getting old now and pretty childish

If Di Maria was to go and maybe be replaced with Pedro, there would probably be more goals added.

However, there would be a disturbing lack of pace in the team / squad. We'd definitely need to bring in someone with speed, even if they were to be only a squad player.

Pedro has pace, not DiMaria pace but he is quick, then we will also have Memphis who is about the same as DiMaria. Having Midfielders that can move the ball quickly and effectively will help with the overall speed in our play

Roquentin

if di maria goes, although disappointed, i can understand it. last season he wasnt doing what van gaal wanted him to do, namely keep possession. he was losing it too much. that is why is was benched or at least part of it.

The point about the ball moving quickly and efficiently sometimes gets forgotten. Hopefully Basti (ability on the ball) and Morgan (break up opposition play) added to midfield will bring players like Mata more opportunity to do that.

Getting another player in like Pedro with his ability with both feet, speed, workrate and touch would be ideal.
