Man Utd scouts posted to see Dembele impress in Lyon Euro win

Manchester United scouts were in the stands at Porto to see Lyon win their Europa League tie last night.

O Jogo says United scouts were present as Lyon won the first-leg round 16 tie 1-0 via Lucas Paqueta's winner.

Leading the line for OL was Moussa Dembele, who is back on United's radar as they seek a new striker signing.

Marcus Rashford's future is increasingly uncertain as he approaches the final year of his contract, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial are also contemplating exits.

Dembele joined Celtic as a teenager in 2016 before moving to Lyon two years later.

His current deal runs out in 2023, meaning Lyon risk losing him as a free agent if they cannot agree new terms.

The 25-year-old may be available for as little as £25million if Lyon decide he is unlikely to extend his stay.
