Manchester United turned their attention towards Ousmane Dembélé in the final stretch of the summer window after realising it was difficult for them to get their priority target, Jadon Sancho, out of Borussia Dortmund.
The Red Devils failed in their efforts to take the 23-year-old on a loan deal, which is why they moved to other targets and invested in Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo.
Despite failing to sign Dembélé in the last window, the Premier League side are still named as a suitor for the World Cup winner in today’s Mundo Deportivo.
It’s claimed the ex-Dortmund man would be one of the players who could leave the Camp Nou in January due to “irregularities” in his performances.
When discussing potential options, United get a mention. The newspaper states ‘persistent suitors such as Manchester United or Juve warn of an offer’.
The wideman’s contract lasts until 2022 and another report from the same newspaper claims Barcelona would like to be ‘able to control the future’ of the player so that they don’t let him enter his final year of contract. 
Dembélé is ‘reluctant to renew’ and therefore, Ronald Koeman’s side are ‘seriously considering’ transferring him in the winter market.
Mundo, however, warns the Covid-19 crisis could make it difficult for Barca to receive a big offer for the attacker in January.
