Man Utd Transfer News: Di Maria's swap deal, Depay BOOST, Marquinhos CONFIRMS talks

MANCHESTER UNITED have joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Di Maria has previously failed to rule out the possibility of joining PSG.

"I know I’m still young, perhaps I’ll go to PSG one day," the Argentine said. "I don’t know how it will all end."

PSV director Toon Gerbrands has handed United a boost in their pursuit of 21-year-old winger Memphis Depay.

The Netherlands international, who is also being tracked by Tottenham, 'has the option' to leave the club at the end of the season.

"They (Tottenham) were willing to offer £15m. We decided to keep hold of him," Gerbrands said. "But he has the option to leave after this season.

"I think these players are very attractive to a lot of clubs in Europe. So far, no one has come forward with an offer but I expect we will come under great pressure."

And finally, PSG centre-half Marquinhos has confirmed that United tried to sign him last summer.

The Brazilian said: “Yes, Manchester United wanted me and Barcelona too. 

"Those two clubs negotiated with PSG but the directors did not give them any option.

"That gave me confidence. The president and the coach are happy with me. It would be good to renew [my contract] for Paris.
