Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has refused to comment on speculation linking Angel di Maria with a move to the club.
Reports have surfaced suggesting that Di Maria is on the verge of joining the Red Devils for a British record transfer fee, having asked to leave Real Madrid.
However, following his side's 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this afternoon, Van Gaal insisted that he could not talk about signings until they have been finalised.
"I cannot say anything about transfers, you have to understand that," the Dutchman told reporters.
"When a transfer has been finished then we can say something. But now you have to wait and see. When the moment is there Manchester United shall announce it."
United have picked up just one point from their opening two league games, having lost to Swansea City on the opening day.
