If we sign a replacement we'll sell. Otherwise I think he'll end up staying.
Paulo Dybala

We were never signing him and fernandes as the fifa lovers think. seems like if we get the cash for lukaku we could move for fernandes... don't see it happening otherwise.
Really hope inter cough up for lukaku now as I don't fancy him at the club this year after all of that.

Why hasn't a comparison between Dybala and Di Maria been drawn yet?
Lukaku wants away because he's been told he won't be 1st choice, if he's stuck with us because no one can afford him it's in his interest to perform when he's given the chance
Struggling to give a feck if I'm honest
If nothing else when a situation like this comes up again the player will ask 'do i want to player there' rather than 'how much money can i extort out of this'. Which is just healthier
Wage thing probably is 25% cut crap and rights image is another issue, which i guess agency didnt want to give up, tbh i dont know how that whole shit dealing works, just trying to reach 11k.
This is really disappointing, stuck with that big lump, and we'll be using fecking Lingard and Mata at #10 or pay stupid money for Bruno who I still don't think is good enough.
The whole window reminds me so much of the one we had under Moyes. Chased Fabregas for months wasting precious time. Ended up signing Fellaini. For more than his buy out clause.
Highly doubt Fernandes will want £350,000 per week. We’re looking at the wrong guy. Forget Dybala.
Consequences of missing out on top 4 is truly devastating. And to think we were actually close at one point, despite Mou falling off the wheels
Won't even be sticking with that big lump!
Looks like we'll sell Lukaku without even replacing him. What a depressing end to the window
I don't get the people who are saying "dodged a bullet here" or similar. The comparisons to Di Maria don't work because back then we still had a slither of hope that the Moyes season was just a blip. Since then we've been on a downward spiral. If next week comes and we haven't brought in anyone else them I dare anyone to say that Dybala not joining us was good.
I didn't particularly want him, I was one of the (apparent minority of) people who would have picked Bruno Fernandes if given the choice. However, if we end up getting neither of them we are IMO not as strong as we could have been going into this season. For how much I didn't really want Dybala, he of course would have made us a stronger side. It'd be naive to not think that.
We've got no forwards who will break the 20 goal mark and the midfield is a absolute mess. It's like Groundhog Day with United, every year we know where the issues lie but we miserably fail to address them.
It'll be another shit season.
An we at least bring bruno in now
You haven't seen
Club literally just briefed we ain’t interested
BBC reporting that we're not in for him as he's not on Ole's list
I don’t want dybala if he doesn’t want to come, however anyone thinking that a) Lukaku staying is a good thing is plain wrong, look at the shit he stirred up. No one wants him but inter, so we take their shit offer or end up with a trouble causing striker who wants away in the dressing room. B) even if we do sell can’t see us getting anyone else in now. We may get Bruno but he replaced our lost midfield. So we will be relying on rashford and martial. Plus it means Lingard is getting a permanent place. Not sure that gets us back in the top 4
This is a consequence of doing things late. We’re now in a position where we may be stuck with Lukaku, who clearly isn’t wanted and who hasn’t been given a minute of football in pre-season.
I got news for you mate... have a look at that thread...
Never quite saw this one.
If Dybala came, he'd either have to be shoehorned in on the right, or push Pogba deeper.
Plus the usual time to adjust, the huge wage, the previous Di Maria burn, and seemingly not fitting the high press committed style.
However, if we had done it I'd have probably been pleased we brought someone in, rather than didn't. Just didn't like the "opportunistic" rather than properly planned and targeted approach.

I think there's more to him not wanting to come than one season out of the UCL, it's likely a combination of that, the county, the league and that we're not competing for the PL
We are fecked with our current frontline. Not nearly enough firepower.
Disappointed he won't be coming, but ultimately looks like the correct decision. Who the feck do we go for now?!
I'd love to know what is actually on Ole's list apart from "kick it in the goal"
Maybe his Biro ran out of ink.

Coutinho would be more enthusiastic than Dybala?
It's a bullet dodged because clearly he didn't want to come.
That's why people are comparing him to Di Maria because he also never wanted to come here.
I can guarantee you if we'd thrown daft money at Dybala and he'd have reluctantly joined us, the first blip or first period things weren't going well for him he'd immediately want to leave like Di Maria did.
I'm not happy at all at being stuck with that big lump Lukaku, but we've made the correct choice walking away from Dybala.
Never mind guys, we have Gomes! He’s just as good. 
Finally Ed showed some balls.Finally it's about the team!
But but....I thought 'it's happening lads'
Two and a half months to buy an attacker or at least a CM and we still haven’t done it. Atrocious!
Nope Stone is reporting on what Ducker said not giving independent confirmation. This could be toast who knows but all that stone has said is that he always had reservations.
Agreed
What a load of bull...he is so much better!Never mind guys, we have Gomes! He’s just as good.
I get the feeling that Ed will have a go to get any big name that is offered to us, no planning.
I don't see how we can sell him, Inter want to pay in £10 installments and Juve can't afford him hence the Dybala swap, we are stuck with him when it's clear Ole doesn't want him and he doesn't want to be here.
Addressing 3 weak areas in 1 window isn't a poor window.
James is a safe punt on the wing to tide us over for a year ready for Sancho.
Maguire addresses a problem in centre back and providing arial threats from corners.
Wab Bissaka is a clear upgrade.
We already have enough quality in midfield to get us into top 4 (and I'd guess we pulled the plug on Dybala early to give us time to finalise Bruno) it's a good start of a rebuild for Ole.
Wholesale upgrades was off the cards as soon as Young and Co were given extentions. This is a long term project.

Wouldn't even mind if we were going to give the young lads a crack, but Ole is just a spin doctor. We will play the well established dross and limp to 6th. Not overly arsed about Dybala, but more peeved that we've fecked around with fantasy land targets instead of addressing the gaping gaps in our squad. We're a shit club compared to the top ones in England and Europe.Never mind guys, we have Gomes! He’s just as good.
