We won't be getting Dybala now. No way we can go back on what we've said. This is done
Spent the week in muppet mode over Dybala.
Going to end the week with longstaff and shifting 0 players arent we?

Ducker is reliable.
Selling a 26 year old and bringing in a 33 year old is absolute madness.
Never understood the phrase "looks like a briefing" when in reality one shit source makes a claim and like flies to shit, the rest swarm....
A briefing for one wouldnt carry the tag "Exclusive" considering the nature of a briefing.

Juventus fans can breathe a sigh of relief, they were getting nervous at getting Lukaku 
Fairplay if the club have done that. Avoiding a Di Maria scenario. A bit disappointing mind, more so that Lukaku could end up staying.
Why would anyone be disappointed? Am delighted we'll get to watch Lingard and Mata in action more.
Would be great is that triple domino can happen, but Juventus and Inter both want Lukaku and don't want to help each other.
I doubt Juventus will buy Icardi from Inter, knowing Inter would then be able to afford Lukaku, whom they want. Better just to scupper the entire deal!
Not sure where that leaves us.
You're going to be disappointed come the end of the window I'm afraid to say.
This deal being called off is probably why it's looking like we might bring in Mandzukic in a separate deal who will be back up for Rashford/Martial
Nah Ducker is one of the better journos covering United. Sky and Mail are also reporting the same now.
Surely it's good the club pulled out if Dybala isn't keen?
Agreed.
Our people could see an article from an obscure Zimambwean publication and say it's a briefing
I'd be happy enough with Bruno and Mandzukic along with Maguire.
Seriously, who gives a feck?
Obvious brief is obvious but I'm happy we've pulled the plug in the end. Said a couple of days ago that it's a shit idea if he doesn't want to come here and we lure him merely with money.
Good to see we maybe have learned, finally. Dybala is a great player but if he has any doubts about the club then stay away.
I also don't blame Dybala. Given how long elite transfer take these days, this is all too sudden. Good on him for also not leaving just for money, and being uncertain if he can commit to a new challenge without due consideration.
Maybe. Who do you consider the better striker for us? Remember Lukaku would mostly on the bench this season, so we only need to replace his place on that. I think Ole is confident in rash/martial/greenwood
If he doesnt want to play for us we shouldnt be after him. Move on!
Yep.
Clearly doesn't want to come, so we should steer clear. It's a pity as things could have worked out for all parties, but fine, it's his life and we REALLY don't need another player here who doesn't want to be.
I guess we will know for sure in a few days, not much left of the transfer window.
I wasn't too crazy on Dybala, but a swap of Lukaku for him and Mandzukic was way too good to pass on. Hopefully we still sign at least one player more, preferably a midfielder.
I think he'll be here come Thursday but under our terms not him dictating to the club.
It’s got all the hallmarks of a briefing.
Between himself and his agents demands and justifications for their demands we probably saw a familiar story of a player pushing for a move next summer and us being the ones to take the financial and reputation hit.
We’ll be fine. Blessing in disguise.
I think it could be a briefing, but if it was, wouldn't the BBC be on it by now? When we clearly briefed about Maguire, it didn't take long for all the journos to be on it, including BBC.
This does have the feel of a Telegraph "exclusive" with others jumping on it, but until everyone has reported it, including Italian sources, it'll just rumble on
Just get Coutinho on a loan.
Watch Pogba leave after the English window closes and not get anyone else in other than Maguire 
Glad we pulled the plug on this one if what is being said is true. I still believe Lukaku will leave. Serie A window dosent close until 23rd so plenty of time for him to leave as well as others.
Still think Ole will bring in two more by Thurs. We will probably spend big and sell Lukaku for a bit less (£65-70m) to balance some books.

Did he specify what kind of move he was after?
Nope, just that he and a lot of other players were no longer happy at Juventus
I really hope Mandzukic deal is also off. This seemed fishy from the very beginning to me. As in too good to be true. I guess, there's always a catch. Thank god, I was not succked into the muppetry. For some reason, I was not excited for Dybala which surprised couple of posters that they felt necessary to reply back. Well, I like the approach of Ole. Very Fergusonesque. He only wants those who want to come fight for the badge and are not in it just for the moolah.
Dybala's said no so you've beaten him to the punch by saying you pulled out.
Fair play, that's class media briefing.
