And former midfielder Darren Fletcher would be concerned if Dembele moved to Old Trafford.
“It suggests that they are moving on from Jadon Sancho,” he said.

“Barcelona purchased him for £100m or something like that.
“I think a loan deal would suit United, and probably both parties, I think he needs a fresh challenge, coming to a massive club like Manchester United.
“It’s a chance to showcase himself, get opportunities, get fit and potentially look for a transfer down the line, but I wouldn’t say they’ve got to sign him because of his injury record, and he has tendencies to be late a lot of the time judging by reports.
“United should give him the opportunity to showcase himself and be the player everyone thought he was gonna become.”
United return to action tomorrow when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League (4.30pm).
