Real Madrid great Zinedine Zidane has endorsed Paris Saint-Germain's pursuit of Argentine international Angel Di Maria.

Di Maria has been heavily linked with a move to the French champions in recent weeks, after failing to live up to expectations during his first season at Manchester United.

Zidane believes Di Maria will be an excellent addition to PSG's squad.

"He's the kind of player that can take you to the next stage. That's what they need to go further in the Champions League," Zidane told BFM TV.
"Angel Di Maria can contribute his energy, the difference he makes when he accelerates, he has the quality to do something. I think that it will happen in the coming days."
