Man Utd transfer news: How will Solskjaer's side look with Dybala and Sandro but no Pogba
MANCHESTER UNITED could look very different next season if Paul Pogba swaps places with Paulo Dybala at Juventus.
Man Utd: Dybala would be 'demotivated' at club says pundit
Juventus are ready to offer Manchester United both Dybala and Alex Sandro in an attempt to lure Pogba away from Old Trafford.
The Frenchman is said to be looking for the exit after a tough season and is attracting interest from Real Madrid.
Pogba is valued at £120million, which Los Blancos are willing to pay but Zinedine Zidane may need to shift Gareth Bale off the wage bill before a deal can be struck.
And Express Sport understands Juve are looking to take advantage of this complication by offering two of their star men to United as a makeweight in a deal for Pogba.
The Red Devils have expressed an interest in signing Argentine striker Dybala as they try and add depth to their attacking options.
Sandro is also a target, having been on Chelsea’s radar for several seasons.
Pogba won four successive Serie A titles with Juve before his £94.5m return to United in 2016 but has failed to live up to expectations.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to overhaul his squad after a dismal end to the season, meaning the 26-year-old could be one of several players shipped out.

Dybala would be an ideal replacement for the misfiring Romelu Lukaku while Alexis Sanchez is also surplus to requirements, so wages will not be an issue if the duo are offloaded.
The Argentine could play centrally or line up in the wide roles of a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, allowing Marcus Rshford to continue leading the line.
Solskjaer may also be tempted to tinker with his preferred formation, depending on which other signings arrive this summer.
Sandro would provide competition for Luke Shaw, who’s form dipped at the tail end of the previous campaign, although central defensive reinforcements are higher on Solskjaer’s list of priorities.
Manchester United predicted line-up after Paul Pogba departure
(4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Smalling, Sandro; Matic, McTominay; Rashford, Lingard, Martial; Dybala
