Manchester United 'deepen interest' in FC Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have 'deepened' their interest in signing Ousmane Dembele next year, according to the latest transfer gossip at least.

United considered a move for the Barcelona winger in the summer transfer window as they missed out on a move for priority target Jadon Sancho.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was desperate to sign a new right wing option in the summer and eventually moved to sign teenage duo Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo on deadline day.

Despite signing the pair United still lack a proven right winger in their first-team squad, which has led to the suggestion of a short-term deal in the January transfer window.

Mundo Deportivo once again report Dembele's uncertain future at Barcelona and suggest United have ‘deepened their interest’ in signing him during the January transfer window.

It is believed United would like to recruit the French international on a loan-deal while Barcelona are keen to take his hefty wages off their current budget.

Elsewhere and United are also being linked with a possible move to sign AC Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu.

The Turkish international is in search of a new bumper contract at AC Milan, so it is little surprise to see United touted as suitors in order to rush the Serie A side into offering him what he wants.

According to Sport Bild there is genuine interest from United regarding a deal while The Mail even report a ‘90 per cent’ chance he’ll move to Old Trafford.
