Ousmane Dembele’s Barcelona future discussed by pundit
Barcelona reportedly suspect Manchester United are in talks with Ousmane Dembele’s representatives about a possible move to Old Trafford. The France international has been linked with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in the past, particularly in the summer transfer window of 2020. And though they’re well-stocked with attacking talent, the Red Devils may yet add to their squad.
Manchester United were interested in signing Dembele last year.
Having been priced out of a deal for Jadon Sancho by Borussia Dortmund, they explored the possibility of landing the Barcelona star.
In the end, though, the La Liga giants were able to retain their prized asset - leading to the Red Devils going after Facundo Pellistri, Amad and Edinson Cavani instead.
In the time since, United have strengthened further.
Sancho is now on board, with the England international joining from Dortmund for a huge fee of £73million.

Cristiano Ronaldo touched down from Juventus on transfer deadline day, 12 years after departing for Real Madrid.
And United also have attackers Amad, Cavani, Pellistri, Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Marcus Rashford on their books, too.
Despite that, Mundo Deportivo claim Barcelona now suspect United are holding talks with Dembele’s entourage about a move to Old Trafford.
It’s claimed they think the Red Devils are amongst the clubs ‘most interested’ in signing the forward, along with Juventus.
Barcelona are now looking into the matter and, if Joan Laporta’s worst fears are proven right, they’re ready to sideline Dembele as a result.
