Angel Di Maria could be heading to Paris Saint-Germain with right-back Gregory van der Weil heading to Manchester United, according to reports in France.

Respected sports newspaper L'Equipe report that PSG are again interested in the Argentinian midfielder, who is their top target this summer.

Di Maria wanted to join PSG from Real Madrid and a deal was in place last summer before moving to Old Trafford.

But because of Financial Fair Play, the Paris club were unable to afford the fee having already splashed out £50million on David Luiz.

Robin van Persie

RUMOURED EXIT: With Memphis Depay having already signed and speculation Van Gaal will move for another striker, there might not be any room for Van Persie. With a year to run on his contract, Manchester United may look to recoup some of the fee they paid Arsenal rather than letting him leave for free 12 months down the line. Juventus linked.

RUMOURED EXIT: The Belgian youngster has struggled for game time under Van Gaal having broken into the team under David Moyes. With a contract until 2018, he's expected to stay, but a loan move shouldn't be ruled out.

Nani

RETURNING LOANEE: With a contract until 2018, Manchester United are in a strong position over Nani who has performed well whilst on his season-long loan at Sporting Lisbon. Difficult to see how he would fit in if retained and United could command a decent fee for the Portugal international.

The 27-year-old, bought for a British record £59.7m, has struggled to settle into life in Manchester and his only start since March came in the final game of the season against Hull City.

Manchester United are searching for a right-back with winger Antonio Valencia having to play there most of the season.

L'Equipe state that PSG will get around their transfer restriction - limited to £42.5m - by offering Dutch right-back Gregory van der Wiel as part of a move. The 27-year-old was part of Louis van Gaal's World Cup squad.

To further get round FFP restrictions, PSG could sell the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Manchester United have also been linked with other right-backs, Nathaniel Clyne and Dani Alves.

Di Maria only managed 23 minutes at the KC Stadium, coming off with a hamstring injury.
