Wanted Ousmane Dembele certainly appears to be keeping a close eye on developments at Manchester United as speculation mounts over a switch to Old Trafford.
Barcelona are willing to sanction a permanent exit for the 23-year-old France international but it is understood the player would rather fight for his place at the Nou Camp.
But United are undeterred and are considering a potential loan swoop before the window closes on Monday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aims to bolster his squad.
The Premier League big-hitters have been forced to look elsewhere with a move for Dortmund star Jadon Sancho looking increasingly unlikely.
Dembele might have reservations about leaving Barcelona but that doesn't mean he isn't keeping a close eye on developments at United.
The forward certainly appears to have an affinity with the Red Devils as he currently follows Brandon Williams, Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood and Donny van De Beek.
He also keeps up to date with club icon Cristiano Ronaldo and former winger Adnan Januzaj on the social media platform.
Dembele is in desperate need of a career spark after making a measly nine appearances last season due to injury and a loss of form.
There's no doubt a short-term stay at Old Trafford would be a marriage of convenience but the player is understood to be seriously considering leaving Catalonia in the coming days as the October 5 deadline looms.
