£10M STRIKER OFFERED TO MANCHESTER UNITED IN JANUARY SCORES HAT-TRICK, IMPRESSES VINICIUS JUNIOR
Although the Denmark international striker has been scoring goals for Manchester United in the Premier League, Rasmus Hojlund did not play against Fulham at Old Trafford this past weekend.
Due to Hojlund’s injury, Manchester United lost 2-1 while he was out. Harry Maguire, a defender, openly acknowledged that Erik ten Hag’s team was lacking the striker.
Although Marcus Rashford was used in the middle of the field, it was evident that the England international is not a natural striker.
Manchester United were offered Paulo Dybala in January
Considering how Paulo Dybala performed for AS Roma this week, you have to ask yourself if there was any way that he could have aided United in these trying circumstances.
AS Roma forward Dybala was offered to a number of teams, including United, as HITC reported on January 5. Prior to January 15, the Argentina international, who can also play as an offensive midfielder, was only available for £10 million.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and the 2022 World Cup champion Argentina were also informed of the player’s availability.
But Dybala is still with Roma, and his performances for the Italian team make you question if United was right to spend the £10 million required to complete the move.
