Paulo Dybala was exceptional at Turin last season. He scored 26 goals and registered 7 assists from 46 games in all competitions and lit up the Serie A. He registered 3 hat-tricks in the Serie A, despite missing almost a month's action due to a Hamstring injury. Dybala was Juventus' talisman and was expected to hit a higher gear this season. Unfortunately, things have not worked out for him so far.

The Argentinean has still scored 9 goals and registered 6 assists from 36 games so far in all competitions, including a fantastic hat-trick against Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League. But Dybala has failed to take his game to the next level this season, for various reasons, and maybe a move away from Turin could actually help him right now.

This is where Manchester United come in. They have been known admirers of Dybala and have the financial power to make the move happen. The Argentinean could actually thrive at Old Trafford and here are 5 reasons why he should sign for Manchester United.


#5. Solskjaer's system will suit him

The Argentinean is a player who loves a bit of creative freedom on the field. As such, Solskjaer's tactical system at Manchester United would certainly suit the Argentinean.

With the recent run of games and the manned in which he has turned United's season around, Solskjaer is almost certain to be named the permanent manager at Old Trafford in due time. This means that Dybala has the chance to team up with the Norwegian in the summer and it is a union that could work magnificently for both parties.

Solskjaer loves a flexible style of play, where his front men interchange positions and work as a unit to go for the kill. Dybala, ideally, could be at home in a such a system, where his wonderful ball control and exceptional skills would be allowed to flourish.

The movement in front of him would also allow him to pick a pass or cut inside and take a shot at goal, something very few players in the world are better at.

Under Solskjaer's attacking tactics, Paulo Dybala would be allowed to play his natural game and this is one of the reasons why the Argentinean should make the move to Old Trafford.

#4. United lacks a player of his abilities

While there are very few players like him in the football world, Paulo Dybala would literally stand out in this United team. There are no players of his caliber in the squad at this moment and as such, Dybala would make his mark in the team.

The right side has been United's bane for quite a few seasons now. No player has been able to stamp his authority on that side for years. United have also been looking for a winger to solve their issues and the Argentinean could be the man to solve United's problems.

When Solskjaer's men go forward, they tend to weigh heavily on the left side. There is an abundance of players who can cut in from the left and shoot towards the goal. Unfortunately, there's no one to do the same on the right. Paulo Dybala is an expert in cut down from the right and shooting with his left and as such, the Argentinean, by joining United, could become one of their most important players.

#3. Chance to come out of Ronaldo's shadows

Paulo Dybala was the main man for Juventus last season. He was the creative nexus of the team, and their most important player. However, everything changed over the summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Serie A and became the talisman at Turin. He became the focal point of the team, the center of attraction. Allegri shifted his team to suit Ronaldo and Dybala suffered. He was no longer the player from last season, failing to work under the shackles put under him. He lost his freedom on the pitch and the spark was gone.

At United, Dybala has the chance to finally come out on his own. He has the chance to move out of Ronaldo's shadows and create his own story. At United, he could be the focal point in attack again and would be the inspiration for his team. As such, by making the move to Old Trafford, Dybala could turn his career around.

#2. Re-uniting with Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba and Paulo Dybala played together for a couple of seasons at Turin and as such, know each other pretty well. This could have a bearing in the Argentinean's decision to make the move.

The Frenchman is the creative hub of the team, but on days when going gets tough for Pogba, the whole team suffers. This is because there is no one to take over the creative reins from the Frenchman and share the responsibilities. Dybala's arrival would change that and the Argentinean would, in turn, be benefited by his old compatriot's presence.

Pogba's cross field balls are stuff of dreams and his eye for a pass is extraordinary. As such, Dybala can always be assured that his clever runs would be met with a matching ball from deep. The two of them would tear defenses down with their intricate passing around the box as well.

Just the prospect of working with Paul Pogba, one of the best midfielders in the world right now, could be enticing enough for Dybala to make the move to Old Trafford.

#1. Could attain legendary status at United

The Manchester United fans rarely forget their heroes. Dybala need only ask his current team mate, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still given a hero's welcome despite leaving the club a decade ago. That is because once the United faithful take to a player, they never forget, never stop loving.

Paulo Dybala is yet to receive such adulation from fans and as such, Old Trafford could be an exciting prospect for him. Not only for the trophies, or for the money, but also for the cult status he could achieve at United. His every turn would be cheered, every skill applauded and the crowd would even give him a song or two.

United's commercial reach in the world should also excite a budding superstar like him. By joining the biggest club in the world, Paulo Dybala will have the opportunity to become a household name. He could be the signing that changes United's fortunes and could be serenaded by the fans for decades. That should be enough to draw him to Old Trafford.
