Man Utd now hold Old Trafford meeting with 'world-class' star's agent; Ten Hag 'key' to big deal

Manchester United have met with the representatives of Paulo Dybala ahead of a possible summer move.

Dybala, labelled as ‘world-class’ by Paul Robinson, is out of contract at Juventus in a matter of months.

The 28-year-old has scored 113 times in 286 appearances for Juventus, but could well end his seven-year stay with the Italian giants.

Premier League rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham are on red alert over a deal, and it looks as if the Red Devils are also now involved in what could prove to be a transfer tussle.

Sports Witness relayed an update from Corriere dello Sport, who revealed that Dybala’s representatives had a meeting with the Old Trafford club last week.

Erik ten Hag looks set to come in as United’s new manager and is reportedly ‘key’ to any chance of a free transfer materialising.

Dybala clearly isn’t short of suitors, so if United want to get a pre-contract agreement over the line, they may have to act fast.

That would mean confirming a move for ten Hag relatively swiftly and then looking at holding further talks with the Argentine forward’s representatives.

Dybala is a player who can turn out as a centre-forward, second striker or an attacking midfielder and is valued at £36m by Transfermarkt, so a pre-contract agreement could be an exciting first move under ten Hag.
