French Journalist Explains Man Utd Fekir Offer as Report Claims Red Devils Submit Bid for Forward

Manchester United are hoping to capitalise on their rival's misfortune this summer by signing Olympique Lyonnais talisman Nabil Fekir, according to reports in France.

The 24-year-old was tipped to join Liverpool earlier this summer but the Reds attempted to play hardball with the French club in the eleventh hour of negotiations, causing ‎Les Gones to pull out of the deal - leaving the Reds with egg on their face.

And now bitter rivals Manchester United will look to get one over on the Merseyside club by bringing Fekir to Old Trafford. Lyon based daily Le Progrès claims that the Red Devils have already launched an offer for the France international this summer.
