I would actually offer Juve both Lukaku and Martial for him as daft as that may sound to some.

My gut feeling is that he would only sign for a team playing Champions League football,only way he doesn't is by Utd offering daft money and after Sanchez we need to stop doing that
I understand the champions league argument I do, but I really think that's more suited for older players who want to join a contender.

For a young - mid aged player they really should be looking big picture and what United will be over the next 5-10 years and not just next season. Even if we were in it we wouldn't be anywhere near winning it. We'll be back in it consistently when we start getting recruitment right which hopefully starts this year.

Not being in it next year isn't ideal but it's not the end of the world.

I was at game against Juve, he was class in that game I thought. His movement was superb, our players couldn't stay with him. Works hard too, made a few tackles. I do have doubts about him, brining in a player who doesn't score enough in a team that struggles with goals is far from ideal.

when people post these "swap deals" ideas, do they think that other clubs don't have scouts or tv's or something? like they don't watch the same shit that we do

I think that he is one of those signings that we should avoid in this transitional period. High transfer fee and probably high weekly salary and besides that he is very out of form. We should spend that money to fix the squad in other positions.

Besides, we would need to adjust our whole system just for him to work. The only way he could work for us is to play 4-4-2 diamond formation and us him as a CAM or a second striker. We don't have the right players to play him as a CAM in 4-2-3-1.

And there is still a big question mark how would he adapt to Premiere League. Avoid at all cost.

But the fact remains Juventus want Martial

Nice retort though

Hahaha. First question that comes to my mind as well. They clearly won't put themselves at a disadvantage so they will scrutinize every facet of the swap(should it ever happen) and make sure they get a fair deal if not even better in the process.

Don't think he's worth it frankly. Decent player and would improve our squad but is he top class? I have my doubts and so apparently do Juventus.

Having said that, if we're out of the Champions League then beggars can't be choosers.

This season has coloured his rep. He's a victim of circumstance. He's a fantastic player.

I really don't fancy specialist SS because they often destabilise the team and the team would have to be set in a way to get the best out of them except if they can make the step up to a striker role or the wing forward role e.g Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero.

I feel players such as Muller, Griezmann, Dybala have been the achilles to their manager's tactical plan because they can't be deployed anywhere else but the middle and this can be terrible if they are having a terrible game or when the midfield gets dominated because there's no way they can be moved to the wing to accommodate another central midfielder.

While Dybala is more experienced than Felix, Felix can play as a striker and looks quite imposing as one (also terrific in the air) unlike Dybala who can only play as a SS behind a striker.

If you really think that Pogba needs a lot of things around him to perform, well this guy is worst.

Funny that of all the clubs, it's our supporters that want him the most.

Like what? If we are going to persist with this false 9 he’d fit in perfect there or off of a striker. He’d basically do the role that Mata and Lingard take up in the team but the difference being he’s a much better footballer.

Dybala for 70 mill pounds would be an absolute steal in todays market. If Pogba leaves this summer, I think Dybala would be perfect behind Rashford, with two holding midfielders behind them.

Have you followed him at all since he went to Juventus?

I’d cream myself if we got Dybala. Love him as a player. He’s also sexy and his wife is even sexier.

If Pogba stays? More square pegs for very round holes.

If Pogba goes? Perfect for me. Pop Ndidi & Barella behind him with McTom / Fred / Matic as their backups and we're looking good

Feels like Muppetry to write that but with Herrera seemingly already in Paris and the whole Pogba fiasco rumbling on, it looks entirely possible that we'll need an entire midfield rebuild this summer.

I'd prefer we went with an SS/AM type with two industrious players behind him than continue with the current setup, when you look at the players supposedly available this year.

What’s it gotta do with Pogba? They play in different positions. They’ve also played together at Juve in the 15-16 season and it worked out fine.

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
I can't believe his poor goal return this season. I've but watched much of Juve this year but I've seen him plenty previously and i know he's a talented player.

I see posters are blaming the Ronaldo for it, but what exactly is Allegri doing that has affected him so much? Sounds like a failure on the managers part, unless Dybala just had a purple patch a couple of years ago and actually isn't that good.

As a number 10, no thanks, but playing a sort of false 9, maybe.

He always moaned about us with the whole Pogba thing

He and Paul were very close at Juve, 'Maybeee' if Poggy stays it could sway Dybala a little further our way. Thinking out loud...
