According to The Athletic, Manchester United walked away from potentially signing Paulo Dybala amid fears he could turn out to be another Alexis Sanchez.
What’s the word?
The Argentina international was involved in talks with the Red Devils over a potential swap deal that would have seen Romelu Lukaku head to Juventus.
However, a proposed move fell through after claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were not interested in satisfying the 5 foot 10 star’s wage demands.

Now, The Athletic have revealed Ed Woodward pulled the plug on a deal amid fears history could repeat itself, and that Dybala would simply become another Sanchez in terms of being on huge wages and delivering very little.
Smart decision
Make no mistake about it, Dybala would have represented a significant upgrade on United’s woefully out-of-form Jesse Lingard. Although to be fair that wouldn’t exactly take much.
But the Red Devils’ reported thinking in backing away from a move makes it far more palatable in terms of why the club would take such a decision. United have been severely burned by their signing of Sanchez, effectively paying the Chilean a ridiculous amount of money to sit on the side-lines. The move has turned out so bad that the 30-year-old is now being shipped out on loan to Inter, with Solskjaer’s side still covering a huge portion of the wages.
So, Woodward’s hesitation in taking another risky plunge on a superstar player is entirely understandable and should be applauded, not bashed.
