Man Utd winger Di Maria 'happy' to join 'important' PSG

Angel Di Maria was feeling good about his proposed transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentina international is set to join the French giants from Manchester United for a fee reported to be in the region of £43 and £46million and is eager to get started with his new club.

Di Maria, 27, underwent a medical in Qatar on Tuesday and is expected to be unveiled sometime this week by PSG.

Of the move, the former Real Madrid star said: "I am very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain. What I know about PSG is that they are a team who have won all possible titles in France last season. They're very important.

"They made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League so my objective was to arrive to Paris and to help them through the quarter-final barrier, because they have struggled in the past two seasons.

"I will try to do the best I can to help the club in those objectives and reach the final stages of the Champions League."
