Manchester United suffer blow as Ousmane Dembele is 'focused on Barcelona'

Ousmane Dembele is reportedly not interested in leaving Barcelona during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has been a regular for the Catalan giants during the 2020-21 campaign, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 times and providing four assists in the process.

The France international's contract at Camp Nou is due to expire next June, though, and Manchester United continue to be strongly linked with his services ahead of the upcoming market.

The Red Devils were thought to be close to signing the World Cup winner on loan last summer, only for Barca to pull the plug on a proposed switch to Old Trafford.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Dembele is aware of the interest from Man United but does not want to leave Ronald Koeman's side ahead of next season.

The report claims that the Catalan giants view signing the attacker to a new deal as a priority, and the former Rennes youngster will wait for an offer from the club.

Dembele, who is also believed to be attracting the attention of Juventus, has scored 29 times and registered 20 assists in 110 appearances for Barca in all competitions.
