#5 Manchester United offered Paulo Dybala as a part of Romelu Lukaku deal

Juventus are willing to include Dybala in the Lukaku deal

The Romelu Lukaku saga has been stretching on for ages. The gist of the story has remained the same - Manchester United are willing to sell the forward if their valuation is met, while Inter Milan are not ready to pay such a monstrous price for the Belgian. United are believed to be expecting a deal in excess of the £79m they paid Everton for Lukaku. Inter had submitted a £53.9m bid for the United No. 9, but it was rejected.

It was previously though Inter were the only club interested in the services of the Belgian, but now Juventus have joined the race. Sky Sport reports that the Serie A Champions are willing to include Paulo Dybala in a deal for Lukaku. The Argentinean has struggled to find his feet since the arrival of Ronaldo, and was largely subdued in the 2018/19 season. It is believed that only Ronaldo is indispensable at Turin, and Juventus are willing to use Dybala as a makeweight in the deal for the Belgian striker.

Italian Football Expert Adam Digby had previously stated that Dybala is most likely to be forced out of Turin this summer.

I think Dybala will be the one player who is forced to move on.

I think the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo forced Juventus to play a front three for the most of last season and the only position available to Dybala in that system is wide on the right - that doesn't suit him.

He is much more comfortable down the middle behind a conventional No 9. And he has really struggled to adapt to that this season.

It's been his poorest season since he arrived at Juventus in 2015. He only scored three goals in the league and he really is the player that has been marginalised by Ronaldo's presence.

I can fully see him moving on this summer in search of somewhere he can play his more natural role.

Manchester United are long term admirers of Paulo Dybala, so a deal involving the Argentinean could actually interest the Red Devils. However, it is also reported that Dybala himself would prefer to stay at Turin and fight for his place under Sarri. The Argentinean is currently enjoying an extended leave due to his involvement in the Copa America, but could return early from vacation to adjust himself to Sarri's methods.

#4 Red Devils given massive hope in Harry Maguire pursuit

Rodgers has remained coy on the cut off point for Maguire deal

Manchester United's pursuit of Harry Maguire had hit a road block ever since Leicester City had rejected a £70m bid for the Englishman. The Foxes are holding out for a world record fee for a defender, which would be in excess of the £75m million that Virgil van Dijk cost Liverpool, with manager Brendan Rodgers eager to hold on to his prized asset.

So far, United had been reluctant to invest such a huge mount of money, but there have been other concerns - the transfer window is nearing its deadline day, which is less than two weeks away.

Brendan Rodgers had previously stated that the club might establish a cut-off point for the deal to be closed, in order to have time in hand to buy an able replacement for Maguire. However, the Leicester City manager has now given United massive hope as the Red Devils race against time to get the deal done. When asked about the cut off point, he's what he said

I haven’t really thought about that

We have two weeks left to go in the window for all of the players. I think it’s just a case of everyone staying in focused.

Because the Foxes have refused to confirm a cut off point, it is assumed that they are still open for negotiations, which will delight the Red Devils.

#3 Daniel James ready for rough treatment in Premier League

Daniel James says he is ready for the rough treatment in the Premier League

When United signed Daniel James from Swansea, the main concern was that the youngster was lacking the Premier League experience. It was believed that the rigours of the Premier League might literally be a step higher that what the Welshman has experienced in the Championship. The biggest worry was about the physical aspects of the league, but the man himself sounds pretty confident about roughing it up in the league.

The Welshman has revealed that any team planning to rough him up will be wasting their time, as he is used to the rough treatment dished out to wingers.

If you watch any of my games from last season I think it’s going to happen to me every game.

I got some rough treatment [against Spurs] but it’s literally every game. I’m used to it. It’s just about getting back up and getting on with it.

No, it doesn’t bother me, not at all. It’s always going to be part of my game. Being a winger I’m always going to get fouled but it’s just about how you get on with it. I don’t let it get in my head and just keep going.

Part of my game is about winning those fouls and getting in good positions.

#2 Mike Ashley gives update on Sean Longstaff future

Mike Ashley has reinstate that Sean Longstaff is not for sale

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff despite being shocked by the Magpies' valuation of the player. Newcastle reportedly want £50m for the player who had just 12 appearances last season. United were hoping that they could get a deal done in less than £30m, but latest comments from Newcastle owner Mike Ashley might be a cause of concern.

The message we want to put out is that he is not for sale.

If you’ve got one like Sean – keep him.

These clauses are the highest you think the player will accept, so he can't batter your door down and demand to be sold for £10m.

I don't care what people say, it's very difficult to keep a player when they want to go. The age of slavery is dead. But we've learned our lesson on release clauses from here.

Does this effectively mean that United's hopes of securing the services of the youngster this summer is over?

#1 Romelu Lukaku drop huge hint that his departure is close

Romelu Lukaku has shared a mysterious message on twitter

We conclude today's segment with another news of Romelu Lukaku's impending departure from United. The Belgian has been on the verge of joining Inter Milan all summer, however, a deal has not materialized because the two clubs have failed to agree to a transfer fee. Lukaku was a glaring miss in United's pre-season, and while an injury was cited as the prime reason, many looked at it as an indication that the Belgian would leave soon.

And now, Romelu Lukaku has dropped a major hint in twitter that his departure is just around the corner. The Belgian share a picture on twitter with his agent Federico Pastorello, with the caption "Soon to be continued". What made things even more interesting is that "shushing" emoji which the Belgian added to the caption.

This has been seen by many as an indication that the Belgian's future might soon be sorted out. There are also reports surfacing that Inter are preparing a new deal for Lukaku worth €70m with another €5m in add-ons. And with Juventus also joining the scene, things could get pretty interesting soon.
