Manchester United may look to appoint a Director of Football to oversee transfers – even though Angel Di Maria looks to be bound for Old Trafford.

The Argentine winger has told friends in Spain that he has accepted a £180,000-a-week offer to join United.

And vice-chairman Ed Woodward was last night in talks with Real Madrid over a £50million deal after Di Maria told the European champions he wants wear the famous No.7 shirt.

Woodward is desperate to push through the deal. And LVG has also made it clear that he wants former Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong to join his red revolution before the transfer window closes.

De Jong, who is 30 in November, doesn't fit the age profile laid down by United's owners.

But Van Gaal is adamant that paying AC Milan £8m would be wise business on the evidence of the opening day defeat to Swansea.
