Red Devils favourites if Dembele leaves Lyon
Manchester United have been priced as the leaders of the race to sign Lyon forward Moussa Dembele.
Sky Bet place United at 5/1 favourites to sign the former Fulham striker, ahead of Southampton, Arsenal and West Ham.
The Red Devils face a shortage of strikers currently, with only Cristano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial as recognised ‘number nines’ at the club currently.
And both of their futures at the club are uncertain.
Sky Bet odds
Manchester United – 5/1
Southampton – 6/1
Arsenal – 8/1
West Ham – 12/1
Martial was sent on loan to Sevilla for the latter half of last season after falling out of favour at Old Trafford, but has lead the line impressively in United’s pre-season friendlies so far, scoring in all three games.
Ronaldo has not made the trip to Thailand and Australia, citing personal reasons, and has also made his intentions clear that he wants to play Champions League football next season, which Manchester United cannot offer.
The Portuguese came out saying he wishes to leave the club, but is finding a new one hard to come by.
New United manager Erik ten Hag has since said the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is in his plans for next season and is not for sale.
