PSG to offer van der Wiel to Man Utd in bid to land Di Maria

Paris Saint-Germain are set to step up their pursuit of Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria.

The Express reports that the French giants will offer Gregory van der Wiel in a bid to sweeten a potential deal for Argentina international Di Maria.

PSG want to send Dutch right-back van der Wiel plus cash to Old Trafford and in return want the former Real Madrid star to make his way to Parc des Princes.

United have been linked with Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne and Barcelona's Dani Alves - both right-backs - which PSG is acutely aware of.

The fact that the Ligue 1 champions have had their summer transfer budget restricted to £42.5million has forced them to offer van der Wiel as they continue to chase Di Maria who had a sub-par season with the Red Devils after joining from Real for close to £60m last summer.
