Dybala on Manchester United's radar

   Jose Mourinho is desperate to strengthen his attacking options for next season. He's on the hunt for a new forward, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out for the rest of the season because of his horrific knee injury, and Wayne Rooney rumoured to leave Old Trafford.

   Starsport reports that Mourinho cooled his interest in Atletico Madrid's man Antoine Griezmann, who was the 1st on the wishlist. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Dybala is the next target who's viewd as Wayne Rooney's heir, and identified by Mourinho as the perfect fit for Manchester United.

   This deal could be easier than ever, after Real Madrid shifted their interest to Monaco's starlet Kylian Mbappe, and Chelsea close on reuniting with Romelu Lukaku.

    The Argentine signed for Palermo in 2012. Dybala had his breakthrough season in the 2014–15 Serie A where he scored 10 goals in the first half of the season, forming a successful striking partnership with fellow Argentine–Italian Franco Vázquez and being linked with several top European clubs. He finished the season with 13 goals and 10 assists, which made him one of the top assist providers in the league. After this impressive season, Juventus announced the signing of Dybala on a five-year deal for a fee of €32 million (plus €8 million in add-ons).

   Since then, the 23-year-old has proved himself as one of Europe's best players, scoring 35 goals and providing 16 assists for the Old Lady. News about his transfer to top clubs in Europe bursted especially after his  2 valuable goals against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter final, despite signing a new deal last month which keeps him in Turin until 2022, earning €7 million per year.

   The versatile, skillfull player has been linked to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, in addition to other EPL teams. But few hours ago, his agent played down speculations about the rising star's move to another club, and declared that he is happy in Torino, and that he has a long term deal with a team that can win things.

   But can we see Dybala play alongside Pogba, again?

Manchester United want Alvaro Morata to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic

   As soon as Antoine Griezmann announced that he's staying at Atletico Madrid after they lost their appeal against the transfer ban, Manchester United shifted their interest towards Alvaro Morata, who tops the teams wishlist right now. The club has been linked with a bunch of strikers, but Telegraph claims Morata is the most wanted.

   After Zlatan's horror injury, against Anderlecht on April 20, which will sideline him for about a year, United are keen on a striker to succeed the Swede and to reinforce their attack, which got Jose Mourinho complaining about wastefulness. But with the unbelievable price tags on both Lukaku (£100 million), and Belotti (£90 million), Morata's £50 million tag seems pretty cheap, as he has the same quality as them, maybe even better!

   Morata has struggled this season as he was the 2nd in pecking order, behind Karim Benzema, who was preferred by Zidane. Morata's move looks definite, but the destination is still unkown. The Spaniard has been linked to many top clubs in Europe. Chelsea's Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the 24-year-old, and has the advantage of working with him before. Meanwhile, AC Milan also are keen on the center forward, and some reports claim that the 2 parties had an agreement. Milan's advantage is Serie A, and the player is familiar with this league. Arsenal are also reported to have an interest in the player, but their priorities now are Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette.
 
   Manchester United may have one problem in their approach, which is De Gea. For about 2 years Real Madrid are dreaming about bringing the keeper inside their club's walls. This could be a chance for the Champions league winners, or an obstacle in front of the Red Devils.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic


Zlatan to stay in premier league!
Ibra's agent Mino Raiola hints that zlatan wants premier league stay,BUT! could be considering offers from rival teams. This came before Zlatan posted a video of himself playing with the ball on instagram showing that he's recovering quickly with an egocentric caption:"lions recover faster than humans".Let's look at the facts and evaluate. Ibra is 35 years old and by the time he recovers he'd be at least 36, and no club would risk signing a player who's never played in a year, and ofcourse if Zlatan wants to sign with a club it has to be one of the big teams in the EPL. This leaves us with 5 options, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Tottenham. Zlatan has made it clear that he won't play under Pep Guardiola again, while tottenham and liverpool seem to have no problems with their attack, which leaves us with Chelsea and Arsenal, with Chelsea willing to sell Diego Costa and Arsenal keen to sign a world class striker, but it's too risky to depend on a player returning from injury. Other EPL teams are not Zlatan's type. They don't match with his prestige. Ibra could feature in MLS which is most likely or could sign a new deal with the Red Devils after his injury spell. This whole thing that Raiola dropped could be bluffing to urge united and other teams to offer the Swede a deal which serves Raiola's interests and serves the propaganda about the unique Zlatan that he made for himself through his controversial declarations and arguable behaviour.
