Transfer journalist Duncan Castles has given four reasons why Paulo Dybala may choose to snub English heavyweights Manchester United to join Spurs instead (Transfer Window Podcast).

Castles believes that Dybala may be sold on the project that Mauricio Pochettino is building at Tottenham.
“Look, they have Champions League football, which is attractive,” he said on the Transfer Window Podcast.
“They’re also based in London, which is going to be attractive.
The fact that Spurs have Champions League football to look forward to whilst also reaching the final in Madrid last season were given as reasons for why Dybala may prefer a move to the North London club.
He added: “They reached the Champions League final last season which will not have gone unnoticed.
