Manchester United: Paulo Dybala sets his conditions straight
By Kian Long
The Argentine forward is not messing around with Manchester United…
Manchester United are busy in the transfer window. They have already secured the signings of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace and Daniel James from Swansea. However, they still have work to do if they are to challenge for the title next season.
In recent days, the Red Devils have been linked with Paulo Dybala of Juventus. Obviously, this is a very attractive thought for the fans of United. Dybala is one of the best players in the world and he is soon to enter the prime stages of his career.

According to the Daily Mail, the Juventus forward is open to a move to Old Trafford. However, he has set a fairly high valuation of himself. The outlet report that he wants a staggering £350,000 per week if he is to sign with Manchester United.
This is obviously a high fee to pay, however, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and company should expect nothing less. The board placed this onus on themselves when they signed Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal for huge wages. Now, every potential signing is going to try and rob the club of their money.
The question will remain whether or not Dybala is worth the money. As far as the transfer fee is concerned, United can easily pad this price by including the wantaway Romelu Lukaku, who is of interest by Juventus anyway.
Dybala is a very talented player. He is not an out-and-out striker at heart but he does have the ability to bag goals when he wants to. His main traits revolve around his creativity and linkup play, which is going to help the players around him. This was shown by him making 30 Serie A appearances last season despite only scoring on five occasions.
Marcus Rashford has proven himself to be a worthy striker over the last few seasons and he needs a player like Dybala to feed from. The Argentine will act as the anchor between midfield and attack, playing quick balls through to Rashford. This is obviously an attractive proposition for Ole, since Rashford is quick to pounce on through balls.
