Paul Pogba sends message to Paulo Dybala amid Manchester United transfer links

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has sent a heartfelt message to former Juventus teammate Paulo Dybala following his final home appearance for the club.

The versatile Argentinian attacker will leave the Serie A giants when his contract expires at the end of next month and he made his final appearance in the famous black and white stripes at the Juventus Stadium on Monday evening as they drew 2-2 with Lazio. Massimiliano Allegri's side found themselves 2-0 up at half-time following goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Alvaro Morata, but they were forced to settle for a point following an own goal from Alex Sandro and a 96th-minute equaliser from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Although Juventus will have been disappointed to have blown a two-goal lead in their final home game of the season, their place in the top four has already been confirmed with just one game left to play. Juventus visit Fiorentina on Saturday.

Although Dybala still has the opportunity to make one last appearance for the Italian heavyweights, the draw with Lazio marked his last outing in front of a home crowd at the Juventus Stadium. He joined the Old Lady in 2015 and has since scored 115 goals in 292 games.

Despite being on the cusp of leaving the club, the 28-year-old, who was close to joining Tottenham Hotspur back in 2019, was poised to sign a new deal in December, but Juve withdrew their offer and he will now leave as a free agent. It was reported that Dybala wanted to stay.

A long list of suitors are already being linked with his signature, including United. He has often been linked with a move to Old Trafford and with a summer of change brewing at the club, it is no different this time around.

But whatever happens, Dybala will remain a popular figure at Juventus. He has enjoyed playing with a plethora of big names during his seven years at the club, including Pogba. And that is why the Frenchman has sent Dybala a message on social media.

On Instagram, Pogba posted: "Hermano, you're a top player and a top man! It's great to have you as a friend and to have shared moments with you at @juventus. Hope to see you soon! @paulodybala."

United are being linked with the Argentina international ahead of the summer window opening, but so are French giants Paris Saint-Germain. He is set to have a long list of admirers this summer and it currently remains a mystery where he will be playing next term.
