Manchester United have had a bid for Palermo striker Paulo Dybala - dubbed 'the new Sergio Aguero' - rejected, according to The Guardian this morning.

Italian side Palermo have claimed they have rejected interest from Louis van Gaal's Manchester United in their highly rated striker Paulo Dybala.

Maurizio Zamparini, Palermo's president, has made it known that he would be willing to discuss the players future during the summer, but not before and clearly rates Dybala's talents having previously described the £9million signing as 'the new Sergio Aguero'. The forward has scored 17 goals in 76 appearances for the club, with 9 of those coming in his last 17 Serie A games.

Zamparini, speaking to Radio Due “Dybala is worth over €40m [£31m] but I won't sell him until June,”

“Many foreign clubs asked after him, including Manchester United. I told the English side that he is not for sale right now, but we can talk about it again in six months. In my view, he is the best striker in Europe at the moment.”
