Yesterday, with any plans to sign Jadon Sancho in disarray, speculation emerged that Manchester United were looking at bringing in an alternative.
Numerous column inches implied that Manchester United’s first-choice would be Ousmane Dembele.
In our article – manchester-united-linked-with-the-acquisition-of-barcelona-striker – we did not exactly gush with enthusiasm citing his injury problems since joining Barcelona and also his apparent reluctance to leave Barcelona.
But that reluctance, according to The Mirror, is no longer a problem with the 23-year-old now wanting to become a Manchester United player, although it should be pointed out that Barcelona have, as of yet, not given any indication that they are willing to lose the player.
Furthermore, in another twist, the Spanish news source Mundodeportivo, is running with the suggestion that Dembele’s international team-mate, Paul Pogba, has spoken to Dembele to persuade him that a move to Old Trafford is the way forward.
If a deal is to be done, with the summer transfer window closing at 23:00 hours on Monday, any deal for either a loan move or a permanent deal, will have to be orchestrated quickly.
However, I remain unconvinced that Ousmane Dembele is the answer to our problems.
How about you?

Manchester United’s Inactivity In The Summer Transfer Market Is Baffling
Manchester United have Owners who should be driven out , Woodward who is a master of Failure
and a Manager on the Pitch who Can’t lead , it is repeat of what they do at every transfer window ,
looking like bumbling idiots, promising everything but delivering nothing
Truly
Manchester united should act fast to sign Dembele. What a golden opportunity.
Forget about the injury record for there must be risk in whatever venture any club undertake
I’m so disappointed that as at of now my club have managed with one signing Woodward out you know nothing about football……..
Woodward leave manchester alone
Can’t Man u just do what is expected and rest.
just take a look at the clubs we are challenging in the champions league.
do u think our present spad can challenge them.
is better for man u to bring another chief, for me woodward is destroying man u,
may be he is on a mission
For real woodward you are not serious do anything posible we want sancho before manday we tired please
Fuck you ed’woodward&glazer family.just park n go to hell.
Dembele is not a good signing for MU. He’s frequently injured and could end up like Pogba, struggling with fitness through out the season.
Why is it like this every year a lot of name’s but no response get Man u a d o f 😂
Please mr woodard we need Dembele in our team leave Sancho alone.please do not spoile man utd foolish man.
I think dembele would be a great signing for utd
