Juventus plan to offer Paulo Dybala to Manchester United as part of their bid for French midfielder Paul Pogba, according to a report.

Juventus are reportedly preparing to offer Paulo Dybala to Manchester United as part of their bid for French midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba recently admitted that he is keen to leave United this summer in search of pastures new.

Real Madrid and Juve are said to be the two favourites for the 2018 World Cup winner, with the former reportedly prepared to use Gareth Bale as part of their offer.

According to Marca, Juve have responded by making it clear to the Red Devils that Dybala would be available if they wished to partake in a player-plus-cash deal in this summer's transfer window.

Pogba scored 16 times and registered 11 assists in 47 appearances for United last season.

The midfielder's form was still inconsistent for long spells, however, and he has been tipped to leave the Red Devils ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

Dybala, meanwhile, only managed five Serie A goals for Juve last term and the attacker has previously been linked with a move to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
