PSG accept loss of £22m on Man United target

Paris Saint-Germain are willing to accept that they made a mistake signing Yohan Cabaye, allowing him to discuss terms with Manchester United.

The French international joined PSG for a fee of £22m in the January transfer window, but the 28-year-old’s father has said that his son wants to return to England.

Liverpool and Arsenal are both interested and will pursue any such problems that Cabaye has between now and Christmas.

Cabaye joined PSG in January from Premier League side Newcastle United but he has failed to hold down a regular first team place, struggling to find better form than the likes of Marco Verratti and Thiago Motta.

The French internationa admitted his frustrations earlier this year, leading to a number of top European clubs to show interest.

“To be honest, I am not happy,” the midfielder told L’Equipe. “This is new ground for me and I’m not complaining, as I’ve never complained because it’s not in my nature.

“The only thing for me to do is to show what I can do.

“But sometimes it’s not easy. I’m 28; I’m not just starting out. I will not change my style of play now.

“But there is a coach in place here and I must respect his decisions.

“I have the character [to cope] and the goal is to show on the field what I know I can do.”
