Manchester United consider a £40m move for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly considering a £40m move for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in this summer's transfer window.

Dembele struck 51 goals in 94 appearances for Scottish giants Celtic before joining Lyon last summer.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for the French outfit - finding the back of the net on 19 occasions in 44 appearances in all competitions.

According to The Sun, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to complete a summer deal for Dembele as he looks to put together 'a younger, hungrier squad' at Old Trafford.

Should the Frenchman arrive in Manchester then it could signal the end of Romelu Lukaku's time at the club.

The 25-year-old struggled for form during the 2017-18 campaign and is believed to be a transfer target for both Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan heading into the summer window.
