Guillem Balague Is Saying That Angel Di Maria Is On His Way To Man Utd

Sky Sports' resident Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, has had some very encouraging news for Man Utd fans today. It seems Angel Di Maria could be on the verge of a much anticipated transfer to Old Trafford.

Balague took to Twitter to break the news that a transfer is a matter of days away. Granted, Balague has been wrong before, particularly when it comes to transfers, but if this does come to fruition, United fans will no doubt be delighted. Having said that, it is a massive amount of money that is being bandied about.

Real and United are very close in the valuation of the player. He will cost MORE THAN 60m euros, could be 70. He will wear number 7 — Guillem Balague (@GuillemBalague) August 23, 2014

Balague also said that Cristiano Ronaldo has had a huge part to play in the potential move by advising his teammate to join United.

Cristiano told di María United is the club to go. Mendes is returning to Europe from Singapur to finalise deal. All very very close.
