Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has previously described Manchester United target Moussa Dembele as 'exceptional'.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Friday, United have made initial enquiries into signing the Frenchman this coming summer. United, amongst other objectives, are set to prioritise the signing of a striker in the upcoming transfer window as they look to give their frontline a fresh look.
It comes after interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who oversaw a 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, advised the club they should look to bring in a younger striker. Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 37, and Edinson Cavani, who turned 35 last month, are both entering the latter stages of their respective careers and United will soon be in need of some fresh energy.
