Manchester United’s transfer plans to sign Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele

Manchester United have not given up on their hopes of signing Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele in the January transfer window.

Popular football journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Here We Go podcast (h/t The Daily Mail) has claimed the 23-year-old is still a target for the Red Devils.

United, after failing to land Jadon Sancho, made an attempt to sign Dembele on loan during the summer, but the deal didn’t materialise as he stayed on to prove himself under new boss Ronald Koeman.

According to Catalan newspaper Sport, several European clubs are still interested in signing Dembele as they view him as a player who has not yet fully realised his potential and has his best years ahead of him.
