Premier League giants Manchester United continue to be linked with Ousmane Demebele amid speculation regarding a Barcelona exit. United are in the market for a forward having failed to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho last summer. Dembele was seen as an alternative to Sancho and United have continued to keep him on their radar. Much will depend on what career move the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner chooses to take as his contract at the Nou Camp winds down, reports Mundo Deportivo.

 

MANCHESTER UNITED are in 'regular contact' with Ousmane Dembele's agent, according to reports.

But they may face stiff competition for the 23-year-old should they attempt to sign him, with Liverpool also rumoured to be interested.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, United have been monitoring the player for some time and tried to sign him on loan last summer.

Dembele is out of contract at the end of next season but could yet sign a new deal at Barcelona.

The Red Devils are believed to be in regular contact with the player's agent, with Edinson Cavani likely to leave Old Trafford at the end of this season.

But they may have to beat Juventus to his signature, should they decide to pursue him.

United and the Italian champions are rumoured to be the two teams most interested in Dembele.

But other clubs have been linked with the Barcelona star, including Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.
