Moussa Dembele can prove Zinedine Zidane right with Manchester United transfer

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Moussa Dembele was tipped for the very top by France icon Zinedine Zidane during the striker's Celtic days and could finally achieve that lofty prediction should Manchester United get their man.

United are considering a swoop for Dembele, 26, before the summer window closes and remain in discussions with his representatives over a potential transfer.

Currently with Lyon, the player has long-since been mooted as a target for the Old Trafford giants and that prospect appears closer than it has ever been previously.

Dembele has 12 months to run on his contract with Lyon. He has scored 67 goals in 144 matches for the French side after initially forging his reputation during spells at Fulham and Celtic.
