Louis van Gaal will allow Angel di Maria to pursue a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Van Gaal would like Di Maria to remain at Manchester United for at least one more season after a tough initial year in England.

If Di Maria remains unmoved in his desire to depart he could be used as part of any deal for Edinson Cavani.

Di Maria staying at United would actually be a surprise at this point.

United paid a British record of £59.7 million to buy Di Maria from Real Madrid.

Di Maria is not with United on their pre-season tour of America as he is resting after his participation in the Copa América.
