United are eager to bring in a forward to ease the pressure on their current crop of strikers. Their need has only been highlighted following Romelu Lukaku's head injury which forced him off against Southampton.


Meanwhile, 36-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic will need more time to be the match winner he once was and Jose Mourinho has already ruled the Swede out for at least a month.

According to the Mirror, Dybala has replaced Barcelona bound Antoine ­Griezmann as Mourinho's top target and the club hope Pogba can be a factor. 

The report suggest United are eyeing a £90 million move for the forward, who has scored 14 Serie A goals this season.

Pogba appeared to have a hand in Lukaku's transfer to Old Trafford in the summer with the Frenchman being on holiday with the striker when the news broke.

Mourinho will be hoping for a similar outcome as his side slip behind Chelsea into third in the league.
