Manchester United planning to fund Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale purchase by selling Angel Di Maria

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sell their new star winger Angel di Maria to Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in order to fund a transfer deal for Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale.

Di Maria has talked up an exit from Old Trafford in recent days, having hinted that he regretted not joining PSG in the summer, before saying that he fancies a switch there one day, Metro.co.uk reported.

And now reports have suggested that United would be willing to sell the Argentine to the French club, with Louis van Gaal looking to raise funds for a push for Ronaldo or Bale.

Either player would likely cost in excess of 90 million pounds, but United are looking to land a star name that has a real connection to the Premier League, and could spend big, the report added.
