United were previously linked with a move for Dybala when he was on Juventus ' books, but he's since moved to Roma. Italian newspaper Il Messaggero understand that the frontman is yet to hold talks over a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico - which would rid of his £10m release clause.

When quizzed on his future Dybala confessed: “Italy has given me everything. It’d be hard to leave, but of course, you always have the curiosity and wonder how you’d do in leagues as good as La Liga and the Premier League, where there are great teams and great players.”

Greenwood dilemma

The Red Devils are desperate to sell Mason Greenwood before the team's summer tour of the United States amid fears the forward may have to join up with the squad.

United will have to allow Greenwood to report back for pre-season training if they can't agree on a deal with his many suitors, reports the Daily Star. The player spent last season on loan at Spanish club Getafe and is keen to leave United for good - but they want £35m.

Lazio, Napoli and Juventus are all keen on the Englishman but don't have the finances to cough up United's asking price. The squad report back to Carrington on July 8 - and Greenwood is expected to show up if he's still contracted to the club. The dilemma then becomes whether or not to allow Greenwood to travel to America next month if he hasn't been sold.

Rabiot interest still live

United have held preliminary talks over a possible move for Adrien Rabiot. The Juventus midfielder almost moved to Old Trafford last summer before the deal collapsed over wage demands.

There still remains interest from both parties, according to TEAMtalk. Rabiot has also opted against signing to a new Juventus contract with an exit still on the cards. He was quizzed on whether he wanted to be coached by new manager Thiago Motta, whom he played with at PSG.

He replied: “He has his career to continue, I have mine, so we’ll see.“ Arsenal and Aston Villa have also been linked with the midfielder who is currently on Euros duty.
