Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Fulham’s Moussa Dembele and believe they can land the Belgium star before the start of the season.
It is believed that Fulham are aware of Sir Alex Ferguson’s desire to sign Dembele, who shone for Fulham last season after being moved from a second striker’s role into the centre of midfield.
Fergie’s interest in the player was exclusively revealed by People Sport in March and we also told you that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been closely monitoring the player.
The Cottagers will demand at least £15million for the 25-year-old but United seem willing to make a substantial offer.
Bizarrely, Fulham signed a teenage striker also called Moussa Dembele, from Paris St Germain this week.

GET VANPERSIE!!!!!
i wish sir alex ferguson would just leave moura and dembele were they are and focus on signing robin van persie and sahin vanpersie and wayne rooney will be unstoppable
I think £8 million bid for RVP is too low.
Arsenal isn’t just fair to Man United by their refusal on RVP.
Hello!I would ask to man utd staff why they do not get out maney and buy strikers like RvP,midfielder like moura or modric so that to keep the dignity of the fist team of the wold economically.
