Manchester United have ended their interest in Paulo Dybala amid reservations about the Juventus striker’s desire to move to Old Trafford and his huge wage demands.

United have been in talks with Juventus over the possibility of offloading Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku to the Turin giants and Dybala moving to Manchester in return.

But Telegraph Sport understands that United have decided to pull the plug on that potential swap deal due to Dybala’s reluctance to leave Juventus, the Argentine’s huge wage demands and exorbitant agents’ fees.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the United manager, is determined only to bring in players who are fully committed to being part of the club’s project.

Dybala wanted parity with United’s top earners, such as Alexis Sanchez, David De Gea and Paul Pogba, and there are also believed to have been complications over the player’s image rights.
