Angel
Di Maria's move from Manchester United to Paris Saint-Germain moved a
step closer as the Argentina winger underwent a medical in Doha.
The Aspetar sports hospital in Qatar posted pictures on Twitter of Di Maria ahead of his medical.
The 27-year-old was given permission to fly to Qatar for talks with PSG
officials after United agreed a €63 million (£44.3 million) fee with
the French champions for the midfielder.
United signed Di Maria
from Real Madrid for £59.7 million last summer, but after an encouraging
start his form dipped drastically and he only started one of the final
10 games of last season.
The former Benfica winger was left unsettled after an attempted burglary on his Cheshire home in February.
Since
then, Di Maria and his family have been living in a city-centre
apartment in Manchester owned by former United defender Phil Neville.
Di
Maria said as recently as June that he wanted to stay at United, but it
became apparent that he had his heart set on a move to the French
capital in the last couple of weeks.
The Argentinian was due to
report for duty during the second leg of United's preseason tour of the
United States on July 25, but failed to show.
After United's 2-0
defeat to PSG in Chicago on Thursday, Laurent Blanc said both clubs
were close to striking a deal for the player.
