Since the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, Manchester United have been on the lookout for a striker and were thwarted in their efforts to land Erling Haaland, Edinson Cavani and Krzysztof Piatek in the January transfer window amongst others, as they settled for the loan signing of Odion Ighalo on deadline day.

Lyon striker Moussa Dembele has long been tipped to make a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Chelsea heavily linked with him in recent seasons. At the age of 23, the Frenchman could be the ideal candidate to lead the line, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial starting either side of him.

Dembele has scored 19 goals and registered a further 6 assists this season and is a lethal striker on his way, as he comes with an impressive goalscoring record regardless of where he's played. Dembele's pace on the counter coupled with his ability to aid the team's buildup play fall hand in hand with Solskjaer's style of play, making him a viable candidate for the Red Devils.

Lyon will not part with their star man easily but are expected to face a battle to retain him beyond the summer, as Premier League clubs look set to intensify their interest in him.
