Ancelotti has confirmed di Maria wants to leave.

Now I'll be very disappointed if we don't get him.
yes

It's between us and PSG I would assume

Someone posted this on the Caf "Isn't it obvious to everyone now that #MUFC are asking their targets to request to leave. Shaw, Herrera, Rojo, Di Maria - over to you Arturo"

Could make sense after the Fabregas debacle last year that we want players to confirm they are willing to leave before we make bids?

If we get Di Maria and a CM Woody will have redeemed himself, I don't think it will be Vidal though

I've not had a fiddle over King Arturo for a while now, I think that ship has sailed. If there ever was a ship in the first place.

I liked this Tweet someone posted: Ancelotti says Di Maria wants to leave RM. LVG has specifically named dropped Di Maria previously. Woodward says United have £. Pressure on.

yes to both, the Woodward really needs to get his act together now, if he fks this up I cannot see LvG being the sort of person who would tow the party line, he'll call him out on it

Andy mitten is pretty convinced vidal will happen,again not from united but sources in italy apparently.

and a chap I know vaguely ,and cannot vouch for reckons he was out with giggs the other night and was told there should be 2 more incoming before end of window.

vidal and di maria would be £100m though ,so I dont see both coming maybe one of them at best.

Khedira has asked to leave as well. If he's going for as little as £8m I can't understand why we're not interested. Di Maria is a hell of a signing if delivered.

On Vidal I think we're worried about another crock like Hargreaves and I think Juve want to offload that risk and we've not bitten.

If there aren't at least 2 more coming in then Woodward is on thin ice. Saw Mitten on MUTV and he was convinced about Vidal, the other journos wih him less so....if he's fully fit a magic signing, if not a very expensive mistake.

LVG has previously stated that Di Maria is player that he likes very much, i think personally we need a midfielder of Vidal's quality but i believe due to working with the Holland squad them he prefers to wait for Strootman to return to action at Roma before looking into Vidal. (Just my thoughts) But if Di Maria and Khedira are both available £80m would surely secure those two!

WhyTF are you guys going in for Di Maria, isn't he like £50m? Your defence is awful!

Pot/Kettle on the defence front Jammy smile

Re Di Maria, LvG would rather play 433 but doesn't have the personnel for it, Di Maria is a piece in that jigsaw, we also lack pace something again he would help solve

Bring in a good winger, offload a bad one back to a PL club who may have a cheap but decent Dutch defender looking to get out?

Meh, I guess. I just thought with Vidic, Evra and Ferdinand all now gone you'd be look for at least one more CB (after Rojo).

As for our defence, we have the players, just missed a leader. I have no idea why we're letting Agger go!

I must admit I thought we would bring in another CB as well and we may still do so, I don't think we are too limited when it comes to funds.

Interestingly Benatia wears number 17 which we've just freed up smile but I think he will likely end up at Bayern

So does nobody else think a Young for Vlaar swap has potential?

depending on price tag I think Di Maria is an essential purcahse frankly.

anything sub £30m I'd go for that. as much as anything it would be a signal of intent.

We need something to worry the MK dons with...

Hadn't picked up on that, I would do that swap in a heartbeat, I can't be the only Utd fan who thought a bird stting in his mouth was the highlight of Youngs career so far

You would stop at £30m? Are you mental? yikes

Double that I'd guess.

I haven't a clue about him,but according to italians we should be breaking the bank to sign this guy,one of the very very few decent defenders around who is available.
