Barcelona star, Ousmane Dembele, will only move to
Manchester United if the Red Devils can give him a long-term contract,
according to The Times.
Dembele had drawn the interest of Man United in the past few
weeks.
The forward could become a Man United player before this
summer transfer window shuts on Monday night.
Man United view the France international as an alternative
to Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, with the club’s Executive Vice-chairman,
Ed Woodward struggling to sign the England youngster.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been trying to negotiate a
loan deal with Barcelona for Dembele.
Dembele is expected to cost Man United around £65m to sign
on a permanent deal.
The 23-year-old is down the pecking order under Barcelona
manager Ronald Koeman’s squad, with Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho currently
shining alongside Lionel Messi in Barca’s attack.
Speaking about Dembele’s future amid interest from Man
United, Koeman told reporters recently that he trusts the player.
“Dembele’s situation? I’m counting on him,” Koeman said.
“I’m counting on him. But these are decisions for the club
and the player.”
Dembele joined Barcelona in 2017 from Dortmund in a
£135.5million deal.
