Ancelotti unsure of di Maria intentions
Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he is not certain if Angel di Maria wants to leave Real Madrid.
Despite the Real boss' insistence that the player is not for sale, the Argentine winger has been consistently linked with a move away from the European champions.
Even though mega-rich Paris Saint-Germain have pulled out from talks with the Spanish giants, reports in the UK have suggested that Manchester United are prepared to set aside £100 million ($208.1m) in transfer fees and wages to land the ex-Benfica man.
While Ancelotti is prepared to field di Maria in the first leg of their Spanish Super Cup clash with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday morning (Singapore time), the Italian coach admitted that he is not privy to the 26-year-old's plans.
The ex-AC Milan and Chelsea boss said: "I don't know what Di Maria has decided. But I know that he's training and that he could help us in tomorrow's match.
"Until August 31 it will continue the same way and after that everything will be cleared up and things will return to normal."
