Excellent Deal! – Journalist reacts as Man United could sign world class star forward and World cup winner for just £11m

Manchester United target Paulo Dybala would be a ‘mouthwatering’ signing for Erik ten Hag’s side as the Roma star is ‘one of the best of his generation’, but transfer insider journalist reports why a switch to Old Trafford may not pay off.

Having broken an unwanted record by completing their worst Champions League campaign of all-time as they crashed out after only claiming four points from six group stage clashes, the Red Devils have the opportunity to bolster their squad ahead of the winter window slamming shut on February 1.

Manchester United have wasted no time in attempting to reshape their squad, with Donny van de Beek joining Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt on an initial loan which includes a £9.5million buy option, and ten Hag will be keen to draft in reinforcements.

Red Devils handed opportunity to pounce for Dybala
Manchester United are among a quintet of clubs looking to lure Dybala away from Roma, according to Spanish sources, after it has emerged that sides outside of Italy are able to trigger a release clause worth close to £11million during the remainder of the transfer window.

The report suggests ten Hag is eager to beat the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid to the Argentina international – who has racked up 10 goal contributions in 15 appearances this season – because his adaptability has led to confidence that he could be the missing piece of the jigsaw as the Red Devils aim to become more of an attacking threat.

Manchester United are long-term admirers of Dybala and also attempted to swoop in while he was still on Juventus’ books, with talks taking place over a potential swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, but he opted to remain in Serie A after his representatives flew in for discussions.

Although Sunday Mirror reporter Ryan Taylor previously told GIVEMESPORT that the 2022 World Cup winner’s arrival at Old Trafford would excite large sections of the Red Devils’ fanbase when he was linked last season, he warned that inconsistent performances should be a concern for ten Hag.

There is uncertainty over where Dybala’s long-term future lies as he has entered the final 18 months of his £137,000-per-week Roma contract, but it appears that Manchester United could still be frustrated in their attempts to acquire his services.

That is because Italian media outlet Calciomercato, via Roma Press, have revealed the attacker is hopeful of being offered a new deal as he is keen to remain at the Stadio Olimpico despite being the subject of widespread interest
