Moussa Dembele to Manchester United? Former Celtic striker responds to transfer speculation

Moussa Dembele has opened up on speculation linking him with a mega-money move to Manchester United .

The Lyon striker was back at Parkhead on Sunday for the first time since he left Celtic to join the Ligue 1 side in a £19.8million deal last summer.

He's been a huge hit back in his home country, firing in 18 goals for Lyon as they secured third place last weekend.  Dembele on the scoresheet as they routed Caen 4-0 on Saturday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be keen on the £40m-rated forward, as he targets a summer overhaul after a disappointing end to the campaign.

And the 22-year-old remained coy over speculation linking him with the Old Trafford side but didn't appear to rule anything out.

He told Sky Sports: "I signed for five years with Lyon and I'm happy there but we'll see what happens.

"I'm happy to stay with Lyon next season but we'll see."

Dembele spoke of his delight at returning to Glasgow as he mingled with supporters and posed with his former team-mates.

He added: "It is just like coming home.

"I spent two of the best years of my career here."
