Manchester United: 5 Players Who Should Be Signed This Summer
Ousmane Dembele, Forward
Like Sanches, the 18-year-old Frenchman is one for the future. Currently at Rennes, it seems only a matter of time before the electric, pacy attacker makes a move to a bigger club.
Last week Dembele revealed how he likes to play as United when he’s on his PlayStation. It’s a tenuous link, but perhaps his fondness of United stretches to a summer transfer. However, it might just be that his mother is the one who needs convincing. Per The Guardian, his agent said:
"“She is who will decide Ousmane’s future. When he wanted to leave last summer, his mother told him she wanted him to stay at Rennes and sign his first professional contract. In the end he had no choice.”"
Dembele recently scored his tenth league goal of the season and, during the last month, has five goals and three assists to his name from just four games.
Again, like Sanches, Dembele is not a player to improve United’s fortunes right away. He has much of his career ahead of him and will need time to develop. However, he’s such an exciting prospect that United would be wise to make a move before another team does.
