United are continuing their negotiations with Paulo Dybala
Manchester United are inching closer to the deal of the summer, after agreeing to swap forgotten striker Romelu Lukaku with Juventus sensation Paulo Dybala. The Belgian had dropped down the pecking order since Solskjaer's appointment and it was clear that he was no longer a part of the Norwegian's plans. Lukaku was looking for a move away from Old Trafford all summer, with Inter Milan courting him, but failing to match United's valuation of the player.

Juventus had taken advantage of the situation and offered a swap deal involving Paulo Dybala, who had been living under the shadows of Cristiano Ronaldo since the Portuguese arrived at Turin last season. Dybala's consent was all that was left for the deal to materialize.
Acclaimed Italian Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio revealed that negotiations between the club and the player are ongoing after a breakthrough could not be reached on Thursday. Meanwhile, it is also being reported that Dybala will not resume practice with the Serie A champions until 5th August, which could be another sign that a transfer is imminent in the next couple of days.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
