PSG player, Angel Di Maria has revealed that a phone call from his current squad manager,  Laurent Blanc convinced details him to leave Manchester United for the French club.

The 27 year-old left Real Madrid for the English club for £59.7m and later sold him to PSG for the £15.7m.

Blanc told beIN Sports, “The first time we spoke, it was before I signed for PSG. This made me very happy. It happened the same way when Mourinho made me come to Real Madrid. They called me before I spoke with them.

“Blanc called me when he was in the United States and I was still on holiday. He said he was very happy to recruit me, that he had wanted me for several seasons.

“Obviously, this gave me an added incentive to sign for PSG.”
