Manchester United are reportedly eyeing up a summer move for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Ousmane Dembele, who is keen on a switch to Old Trafford next season.

Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain attacker Ousmane Dembele over a potential summer move.

The 27-year-old is one of the main stars in the French capital following the departure of the club's all-time leading goalscorer Kylian Mbappe to European champions Real Madrid.

Dembele has commenced the 2024-25 campaign in stellar fashion, finding the net on three occasions and providing two assists from four Ligue 1 contests.

Rather unsurprisingly, Les Parisiens sit at the head of the top-flight standings in France as the only side who still have a 100% record intact.

Moving their focus away from domestic matters for a moment, PSG will begin another quest for the Champions League crown as they host tournament debutants Girona at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

Man United 'enter' talks with PSG's Dembele

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes via Football Transfers, a Premier League powerhouse have entered the race for the services of PSG's Dembele in the near future.

The report claims that Manchester United are interested in the capture of the 27-year-old, who is the fourth most expensive player in football history.

It is understood that the Red Devils and Dembele's representatives have commenced discussions over a potential move to Old Trafford for the attacker next summer.

The France international is supposedly open to a high-profile switch to the Theatre of Dreams, where Man United are aiming to return to the summit of the English and European game.

Since making the transfer from Barcelona to PSG during the summer of 2023, Dembele has made 46 competitive appearances for Luis Enrique's troops, scoring nine times.

Do Man United need Dembele next summer?

It is believed that Man United head coach Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his options on the flanks, especially given the disappointment of Antony's performances since his move from Ajax in 2022.

The Dutchman is reportedly an admirer of Dembele, who has the ability on both the left and right wings, highlighting his considerable versatility.

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo currently share the first-team duties on the flanks for the Red Devils, with the latter two possessing the potential to blossom into world-class wingers.
