Manchester United 'hold talks with Celtic over Moussa Dembele'

Manchester United have reportedly held talks with Celtic over the potential signing of Moussa Dembele.

The 21-year-old scored 32 times in 49 appearances for the Hoops during the 2016-17 season, and has managed seven goals in 12 matches for the Scottish giants this term.

Dembele scored his first Champions League goal of the season in Celtic's 7-1 thrashing at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, and was one of few players in green and white to emerge with credit from that match.

According to L'Equipe, United boss Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of the Frenchman, and the 20-time English champions have approached Celtic with the view to thrashing out a deal ahead of next summer's transfer window.

Dembele, who has also previously been linked with Chelsea, joined Celtic from Championship club Fulham in the summer of 2016.
