ANTONIO CASSANO has blasted reported Manchester United target Paulo Dybala and claims he does NOT deserve a new Juventus contract.
Former Italy star Cassano claims the Argentina forward ’s***s himself’ under pressure.

And the Serie A champions should not cave to Dybala’s demands of a fresh deal worth £9million per year after his poor performances this season.
Retired 38-year-old Cassano, famous for his own crazy shenanigans throughout a wild playing career, said: “All his coaches at Juventus did not consider him necessary, so I wonder if he is a champion or a great player.
“For me he is not a champion, he does not make the difference.
“He has scored good goals, like I saw Antonio Di Natale and Lorenzo Insigne do.
“But if you want to take Juventus’ No10 shirt, you have to be at a higher level.
“I have the feeling that, when they put pressure on him, he s***s himself. And then he asks for £9m per season? Oh, please.”
Dybala, 27, has scored just twice in the league this term.
And he has so far struggled to command a regular starting role under new boss Andrea Pirlo.

Dybala’s current Juventus contract expires in 2022.
But despite his poor form, the Turin outfit are reportedly keen to keep him for many years.
It’s reckoned the ex-Palermo ace wants £9m a season to remain at Juventus.
And the saga has since seen Dybala linked with a stunning move to Manchester United.
Paul Pogba has been tipped to move in the opposite direction.
And additional reports claim Juventus are reluctantly prepared to sell Dybala this summer if he has not accepted a contract offer by then.
New Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is also said to be interested.
