Manchester United 'learn Moussa Dembele asking price'

Manchester United will reportedly have to come up with an offer of 'at least £60m' if they wish to sign Lyon striker Moussa Dembele during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has allegedly emerged as United's number one forward target ahead of next season.

Chelsea are also thought to be admirers of the former France Under-21 international, but Dembele is said to dream of a move to Old Trafford at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

According to the Daily Record, though, only offers of £60m and above will be considered by Lyon, who have the former Fulham youngster on a contract until June 2023.

Dembele has been in impressive form for his French club during the current season, finding the back of the net on 20 occasions in 38 appearances in all competitions.

Odion Ighalo joined United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January following Marcus Rashford's injury, but the Nigeria international is seemingly unlikely to make a permanent switch to Old Trafford.
