Man Utd and Tottenham urged to forget signing Paulo Dybala for one reason
MANCHESTER UNITED and Tottenham should both forget signing Paulo Dybala because he is not strong enough for the Premier League.
Man United: Paulo Dybala 'not strong enough' says expert
That is the view of ESPN FC pundit and ex-Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson.
Dybala has been linked with a move to both Manchester United and Tottenham this summer.
Reports claim Juventus are keen on a possible swap deal with United and their striker Romelu Lukaku.
Robson’s colleague Shaka Hislop believes Dybala would be a top signing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
I don’t think he’s strong enough to play in the Premier League at the moment
But Robson himself disagrees and says United need to look at other targets to provide the necessary improvement to their squad.
“I’m afraid I don’t agree,” Robson said.
“I’ve seen Dybala play a lot for Juventus and he’s struggled a little bit.
“I think he’s a ‘nearly’ man, he’s a fringe player.
“Manchester United at the moment, I think they should get rid of Lukaku, absolutely right.
“But I don’t think Dybala is the sort of player that’s going to make Manchester United a lot better.
“He’s a fringe player, he likes playing off other people.
“I don’t think he’s strong enough to play in the Premier League at the moment.”

When asked about Tottenham’s interest, Robson gave a similar response.
“I’m not a great Dybala fan, I think he’s a bit-part player,” he added.
“I don’t think he would get into Spurs’ team, there we go.”
