Manchester United had one of their busiest and most expensive transfer windows in Premier League history this summer but they are already looking at their next move, which could see them try to sign Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo was the icing on the cake of a highly satisfying few months for the Red Devils after recruiting Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
United spent £126million on the trio but Dembele could be available on a free transfer if he does not agree a new contract with Barcelona.
Catalan newspaper El Nacional has reported that United looked into signing Dembele last year and are readying another approach for the forward, who is down to the final year of his deal with Barca after joining the club in 2017 from Borussia Dortmund.
The report said United have already made contact with Dembele’s representatives to enquire about his future.
Dembele has shown flashes of brilliance but his time in Catalonia has been a massive disappointment due to his terrible bad run with injuries.
The report in El Nacional said Barca club have still not given up hope of agreeing a new deal with Dembele but United’s interest in him could end up disrupting their bid to tie him to a new contract
