Argentine international Angel di Maria's
proposed move from Manchester United to
Paris Saint-Germain has moved closer after the
winger passed a medical with the French
champions in Doha.
The 27-year-old had extensive tests at the
Aspetar sports hospital after being given
permission by the Premier League giants to fly
to the Qatari capital for talks with PSG officials.
The two clubs have already agreed a fee of
£44.3 million for Di Maria who will end his one-
year stay at Old Trafford.
United snapped up Di Maria for a British record
£59.7m from Real Madrid last summer, but the
winger's form slumped dramatically after
making an encouraging start to life in north-
west England.
After netting three goals and making four
assists in his opening six games for the 20-
time English champions, Di Maria spent time on
the sidelines with injury and fell out of favour
with Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal.He started just one of the final 10 games of last
season with his final United goal coming in a
2-0 FA Cup third round win over Yeovil Town in
January.
Di Maria was also unsettled off the field after an
attempted burglary on his home in Cheshire in
February.
Since that incident, the Argentine has been
living in a city-centre apartment in Manchester
- owned by former United player Phil Neville -
with his family.
The former Benfica player had said he wanted
to stay at United but after failing to report for
the second part of the club's pre-season tour of
the United States on July 25, his future at Old
Trafford appeared to be over.
Di Maria - who has 65 caps for Argentina -
scored four goals in 32 appearances for United.
