What Paulo Dybala has said about playing at Old Trafford amid Manchester United speculation

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala - and it seems the Argentine star enjoys playing at Old Trafford.

Reports have surfaced suggesting Juve could offer Dybala in a part exchange deal as they try and sign ahead of Serie A rivals Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri are keen to sign Lukaku, with Antonio Conte speaking about his admiration for the former Chelsea and Everton striker, who has not featured for United in pre-season yet.

And a tweet from Dybala back in October last year, when Juventus and United met in a Champions League group stage clash, reveals the player's awe at gracing the Old Trafford turf.

He tweeted: "The Theatre of #Dreams: To play in such historical stadiums you have to do a lot of sacrifices as a boy!"

Dybala's record against the Reds is good. He scored in that European clash back in October, the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win for Juve - though was part of the side beaten by United 2-1 in the reverse fixture in Turin.

Spurs have also been linked with the 25-year-old, with some reports claiming Juve have already rejected a bid from the north Londoners.

It is not the first time United have been linked with Dybala this summer, either. United are prioritising other deals such as Harry Maguire in this transfer window as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to reinforce his backline.
