Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has again said that he is unaware of Angel di Maria’s decision over his future, but insists that he will keep selecting the Argentine as long as he is available.
Ancelotti’s reluctance to lose Di Maria has been well documented, but speculation over the Argentine’s future has refused to die down.
Paris Saint-Germain bowed out of the race to sign Di Maria earlier this month as they feel he is too expensive, but Manchester United have been consistently linked with a move for the winger.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is keen to add wide options to his squad and has identified the Argentine as a key transfer target this summer.
Di Maria made a substitute appearance in Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid last night and Ancelotti again clarified his position on the Argentine, when asked for an update.
