Manchester United 'have not given up hope of signing Ousmane Dembele on loan with Premier League side set to return for the Barcelona forward in January' after failing to seal a summer deal

Manchester United have not given up hope of signing Ousmane Dembele on loan and could return for the Barcelona forward in January, according to reports.

United failed to secure a deal for Dembele in the summer but, on his Here We Go podcast, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed the 23-year-old is still a target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The Premier League side are reportedly only interested in a short-term deal, which proved to be a stumbling block in the summer negotiations with cash-strapped Barca wanting to sell the striker.
