Manchester United have some interest a possible deal for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in this summer transfer window. As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Friday, the development comes after Ralf Rangnick advised United to look at signing a younger forward at the end of the season, and it's understood Dembele is one of the players currently being looked at.
