According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, United face stiff competition for Ndombele’s signature.
And they will not find it easy to convince Lyon to strike a deal for the midfielder either.
United might have to fight off Barcelona and Inter Milan if Ed Woodward makes an offer for Ndombele in January.
Barcelona are always on the lookout for players who can help them stay on top in Spain.

While Italian giants Inter Milan have cash to splash as they seek to return to the heights of old.
Lyon will drive a hard bargain if any of the trio come calling for Ndombele during the winter transfer window.
Lyon have apparently valued the 22-year-old at a whopping £72m (€80m) amid the interest.
And that is substantially more than the £54m (€60m) Inter are thought to have had in mind.
