PSG star Matuidi given permission to hold Man Utd talks

Blaise Matuidi has reportedly flown to England for transfer talks with Manchester United.

According to Goal.com, the French national team gave the PSG midfielder permission to leave their camp in order to jet to Manchester for discussions regarding a potential summer move to Old Trafford.

29-year-old Matuidi has two years remaining on his current deal with the French champions and would reportedly cost Jose Mourinho's United £20million.

If he were to make the move to the Red Devils, the former Saint-Etienne star wold follow former PSG teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Theatre of Dreams.

While it seems unlikely Les Bleus boss Didier Deschamps would allow a player to travel during preparations for the Euro2016 semi-final with Germany, the rumours are present.
