It was revealed only yesterday that Juventus and Manchester United are working on a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala. It has certainly looked like a win-win situation for United, because Solskjaer will be trading a player he does not want, for a player he admires. And both clubs seem to be eager to see a deal through.

Sky Sports reports that the sporting director of Juventus, Fabio Paratici, is in England to accelerate negotiations. Paratici will work with United representatives as well as the agents of both players, in order to get the transfer over the line as soon as possible. A deal between the two clubs is already in place, with Lukaku also willing to make the move to Juventus. Only the final decision from Paulo Dybala remains.

The Argentinean is due to have a discussion with Maurizio Sarri, after arriving at Turin at the end of his vacation. A positive response, for the United fans, is widely expected.
