Julian Draxler says that Angel di Maria has a lot of "respect" for Manchester United as he prepares to return to Old Trafford with Paris Saint-Germain.
United signed Real Madrid's Di Maria for a British record of £ 59.7 million in 2014 but, despite a promising start, Di Maria lost her place to Ashley Young and joined PSG, her favorite choice for her departure from Madrid after only 11 months for £ 44.3. m.
Di Maria is expected to make his debut for PSG, which will be denied Edinson Cavani and Neymar for the knockout rounds of the Champions League, to United on Tuesday night. Draxler is also expected to participate in a three-pronged attack with Kylian Mbappe and the German international admitted that he had questioned Di Maria about his experience in Manchester.
"I was asking him questions about Manchester United," Draxler said in Suite # 7 at Old Trafford. "I will not tell you what he said but he will be ready for tomorrow.
"He's a great player, he has a lot of respect for the club (United), which he said is not terrible, but it was between him and me, so I will not tell you now.
"He is fit, we will need him tomorrow, especially without Cavani and Neymar, I hope he will make a good performance tomorrow."
Di Maria, 30, debuted 24 times and made eight substitute appearances for United in 2014-15 under Louis van Gaal, but his form collapsed as a result of a burglary attempt in his mansion of Cheshire in January 2015.
The Argentine winger was sent off during the FA Cup quarter-final defeat against Arsenal and subsequently failed to overthrow his replacement, Young, who signed a new contract with the club. a year with United on Monday.
Last month, Di Maria suggested that Van Gaal's methods prevent him from expressing himself to United.
Di Maria told France Bleu: "I only stayed one year, it was not the best period of my career, or rather I was not allowed to spend my best time.
"There were complications with the coach of the time, but thanks to God, I could come to PSG and show again who I was."
