Furious Manchester United squeeze £3m more out of PSG after winger goes AWOL

Furious Louis van Gaal forced Paris Saint-Germain to pay an extra £3million for Angel di Maria after the player posted a picture of himself with the French club's owner in Qatar.

Manchester United winger Di Maria finally had a medical in the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday, but Old Trafford officials had earlier pulled the plug until they were able to thrash out new terms.

Van Gaal demanded £46m after the French club originally believed a deal had been done at £43m.

Di Maria had been given permission by United to talk to French champions PSG — but not to fly out to Qatar.

The Argentina international had already been fined two weeks' wages by Van Gaal for failing to meet up with United on their recent US pre-season tour.

United are still keen on Barcelona wide-man Pedro, and he is expected to say goodbye to the Nou Camp on Thursday when Roma visit for a pre-season friendly.

The Old Trafford giants have offered £20m and are confident of getting their man — Pedro could even be a spectator for their opening game of the season with Tottenham on Saturday.
