Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of signing long-term transfer target Angel Di Maria after agreeing a fee in the region of £48m with Real Madrid.
According to Sky Sports expert Guillem Balague, the two clubs are very close to finalising a package which, when wages are also considered, would see Louis van Gaal's side part with over £60m.
Former United star Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria's teammate at the Santiago Bernabéu, is believed to have advised the 26-year-old to chose Old Trafford after informing Carlo Ancelotti of his intentions to leave.
The player's agent Jorge Mendes is set to return from a visit to Singapore to finalise the deal in the coming days, with meetings scheduled into the beginning of next week.
Di Maria is expected to be handed the number seven shirt and will walk straight into van Gaal's starting eleven, despite the Dutchman's fears that his arrival could damage Adnan Januzaj's development.
