The 22-year-old made a £19.7m move to Olympique Lyon from Celtic last summer and had an instant impact on his team's results. Moussa Dembele featured in 33 games including 21 starts, scoring 15 goals and assisting four times. Romelu Lukaku's uncertain future makes Dembele a good option for Solskjaer to boost his attacking options.

Dembele is strong and has a quick turn of pace. He is a typical number nine who likes to play short passes and also has a good eye for goals. According to many reports, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led United has already made a bid to bring him to Old Trafford.

How can he improve Manchester United?

In a 4-3-1-2 system, Solskjaer can start with Dembele and Rashford up front. This will give them with a lot of speed in the final third. Both the young players have the ability to dribble past through the defenders.

Having Dembele will give Man United a player who can run directly towards the defenders. Considering the high prices prevailing in the transfer market, spending €40 million on Dembele could prove to be a bargain.
