Valencia believe their chances of signing Nicolas Gaitan from Benfica will be boosted if Angel di Maria stays put at Manchester United.
Los Che are interested in snapping Gaitan up, but the Argentine has been strongly linked with moving to Old Trafford this summer.
Gaitan's chances of a switch to Manchester United would be boosted if Di Maria headed elsewhere and according to Valencia-based daily Super Deporte, Los Che will be encouraged in their pursuit of the Benfica man if Di Maria does not move.
Di Maria has been linked with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but recently vowed to remain with the Red Devils.
Manchester United smashed the British transfer record by paying £59.7m to sign Di Maria from Real Madrid last summer.
