Angel di Maria will not be allowed to leave Manchester United unless he hands in an official transfer request, according to reports.
The Argentine has been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and is reportedly unsettled at Old Trafford.
The Daily Mail claims that Louis van Gaal still sees Di Maria as a key part of the United squad though, and is hoping that the 27-year-old decides to stay in Manchester.
Di Maria signed for United last summer for a fee of £59m, but struggled to make an impression.
