Angel Di Maria - Spotlight On
Di Maria, 27, became United's record signing when he arrived from Real Madrid in a £59.7million deal in 2014.
But just a year later United sold the winger to Paris Saint-Germain for a cut-down £44m fee.
But a former team-mate of his, Raphael Varane, jumped to Di Maria's defence.
"He is an exceptional player, with enormous speed and quality of passing," Varane said.
"He can bring his experience to a big club like Paris."
