The former Fulham hitman has been in blistering form for the Scottish giants this season, hitting 14 goals.
His displays have also seen Arsenal sit up and take notice, and they sent scouts to watch him in Champions League action against Manchester City last month.
But according to the Daily Record, United are also monitoring Dembele.
The report suggests United dispatched their talent spotting staff to run the rule over the Frenchman during Celtic’s 4-0 win away to Ross County last night.
However, after coming on a substitute in the 58th minute, he netted the final goal in stoppage time.

He said: “I think so. Well, hopefully we can.

“They’re a team, they’re together, we don’t need to sell any players.
“Hopefully we can retain him. But our job is to have players who want to be sought by other clubs in the Premier League and elsewhere.”
