Manchester United faced Paris Saint-Germain on 29th July at the International Champions Cup and Balague claims that the club authorities finalised the deal there only.
Angel Di Maria had Manchester United last summer for a British record transfer fee of £59.7m. If Balague is to be believed then the Red Devils are due to incurr a loss of £15.5m.
The Argentine international had a terrible debut season at United where he remained out of action for the first of the season due to injuries and then was benched by Louis van Gaal due to poor performances.
Di Maria himself wanted to move out of the club this summer and was heavily linked with Paris club. He did not even turn up for the club’s pre-season at USA which angered top United officials and the manager. The winger will now join PSG in the coming days.
An official confirmation is yet to come from either of the club.
