Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted that "the team will be better" if Angel di Maria completes his move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine international did not board a flight to join up with the Manchester United squad, fuelling speculation that he is on the verge of joining the French champions.
The striker told La Parisien: "Welcome to him, he will bring his qualities. He is a good player. With him, the team will be better."
PSG lost in a penalty shootout in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea in the USA last night.
