'An amazing coup' - Fans react as Man United take the lead on Tottenham target Paulo Dybala

Manchester United endured a forgetful season last term, while Tottenham Hotspur achieved new heights after reaching the Champions League final for the first time.

Despite their differences, the objectives for both clubs will be similar next season though as they look to secure a top-four finish and lift a piece of silverware at the end of the campaign.

Naturally, this leads to spending in the transfer market and it appears United have stormed ahead of Spurs in one particular hunt, with Paulo Dybala's agent reportedly in London holding talks regarding a move to Old Trafford.

The Juventus forward is also a target for Spurs, although Mauricio Pochettino's side are thought to have fallen behind United who will offset their expenditure in the Argentine by moving Romelu Lukaku to Turin.

While some Manchester United fans on social media are excited, others are concerned that he could become another Angel Di Maria or Alexis Sanchez.

Tottenham had been tipped to sign Dybala as their battles to get Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegenon deal over the line continue into the final days of the summer transfer window.
