Ahead of the January transfer window, Manchester United are keen to bolster their squad for the Premier League title race with it being reported that the club have turned their focus to Paulo Dybala.
It must be appreciated that a club the scale of United keeps tabs on most players of a high level, Dybala is no different and he is being monitored by many clubs across the continent.
A story reported by the Daily Star suggests that Jose Mourinho is confident of exploiting professional difficulties between the Argentine and Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri ahead of making a move to sign the former Palermo forward in the summer.
Question marks have been raised in Turin over Dybala's professionalism and Allegri caused quite the stir when he left the club's star performer on the bench for the recent Derby d'Italia clash with table-topping Inter.
Alas, such a deal would be incredibly difficult to complete, not least because his contract with Juve runs until June 2022.
Juventus have also shown no indication that they would be willing to sanction any sort of transfer away from the club where Dybala is concerned.
There is also the small matter of Manchester United facing opposition from other clubs; both Real Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with the former Instituto forward.
For the moment, Mourinho continues to focus on his team's current campaign with transfer plans likely to change between now and the summer.
