Angel di Maria absent from Real Madrid training

As his reported £50m switch to Manchester United draws closer, Angel di Maria misses Real Madrid training ahead of their opening game of the La Liga season.

Angel di Maria missed Real Madrid's training session this morning amid speculation that he is on the verge of joining Manchester United.

Speculation yesterday evening claimed that United had grown increasingly confident that they could convince the Argentine winger to sign on at Old Trafford, with a fee in the region of £50m mooted.

His absence from the today's session has since resulted in rumours that the deal could now be close to completion.
