Paulo Dybala 'cancelled a summer move to Manchester United' with one phone call

Paulo Dybala reportedly cancelled a summer move to Manchester United - while his agent was sat in Ed Woodward's office.

The Juventus striker's representative, Jorge Antun, was at United's London office during the first week of August last year locked in negotiations with United officials when the player called and told him to pull the plug on the deal.

According to Calciomercato, an agreement was already in place between United and Juventus which involved Romelu Lukaku being sold to the Turin club in exchange for the Argentine.
