Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has claimed he was misquoted in saying that team-mate Angel di Maria could be joining Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

French television programme Telefoot had tweeted a quote from Fellaini in which the United midfielder said: "Angel di Maria would be a good signing for PSG. He is a world class player."

But the Belgian hit back, claiming that was not an accurate reflection of what he had said.

"Seems I have been misquoted from @telefoot--TF1 interview !!!!" Fellaini said on Twitter.

"I said that Di Maria would be a good signing for any club as he is a great player. I also said if I were him I would STAY at @ManUtd."

United broke the British transfer record when they signed Di Maria from Real Madrid last summer for £59.7m, but the Argentinian struggled badly in his first season in the Premier League 

The 27-year-old's form dipped significantly in the second half of the season and he lost his place in the side, leading to speculation that he could be leaving Old Trafford.
