The phone call that made me quit Manchester United -- Di Maria

 Di Maria revealed in an interview with beIN Sports that Blanc phoned him during PSG's own tour of the
States and convinced him to quit United.
"The first time we spoke, it was before I signed for PSG," Di Maria said. "This made me very happy.
"It happened the same way when (Jose) 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."
United and PSG even met during the off-season in Chicago, with the Ligue 1 champions winning 2-0.
United fined Di Maria £360,000 for his absence during the trip and once the squad had returned to Manchester officials set about offloading their flop.
