Louis Van Gaal claimed he “does not know” where Angel Di Maria is after Paris St Germain claimed they were close to securing a deal for the Manchester United winger.
Di Maria failed to join up with the United squad in San Jose for the last leg of their US tour, having been given an extended break following his involvement in the Copa America with Argentina.
PSG boss Laurent Blanc, whose side beat United 2-0 in Chicago, claimed the French champions were “close to the end” of their negotiations with the Reds over Di Maria.
But van Gaal refused to be drawn on the seemingly imminent £46million deal that will end Di Maria's ultimately unsuccessful season-long stint with United.
When asked the latest situation on Di Maria, van Gaal said: “You can ask that every week.”
When asked where Di Maria was, having failed to join up with the United squad, as instructed, van Gaal was equally taciturn: “Maybe you know? I don't know that.”
Van Gaal was in no mood to budge, despite being told Blanc had claimed the deal was close to being done with United for Di Maria.
“I don’t know, because I’m not the same manager as Laurent Blanc, I don’t want to answer these questions,” said van Gaal.
“With Manchester United we shall announce something when it is already done and not when it isn’t done, because it’s a process.
“I have said that many times. We will have to wait and see and I don’t want to interfere [in the situation].”
