Di Maria rejects new madrid contract

Argentina winger Angel Di Maria has told Real Madrid he wants to leave the La Liga club.

Di Maria has been heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United in the past few months, but the Ligue 1 champions recently stated that they are no longer interested in signing the winger due to financial reasons, leaving United seemingly as the main contender to lure him away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

 Louis van Gaal is reportedly keen to take the 26-year-old to Old Trafford.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti confirmed the player rejected the offer of a new contract at the European champions.

"Di Maria asked to go in the summer and has rejected an offer from the club," said Ancelotti at a news conference.

"The player has to look for a solution. If when the transfer market closes he's still here, he will work with us like last season and there will be no problem."

"I'm surprised that it seems as if we are not all in agreement about the situation, but this is not the case. We are all on the same line here".

Di Maria missed the World Cup final defeat by Germany because of injury,he  moved to Real from Benfica for £20m in 2010.
