Moussa Dembele

Manchester United have made a late move for Lyon striker Moussa Dembele ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline, according to stories in France.

Yahoo Sports France report that United are eyeing the former Celtic man as a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who could join Inter this summer.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were linked with Dembele earlier in the summer but did not follow up on their initial interest.
