Premier League 2019/20: 5 players Manchester United should target in the January transfer window 

#3 Moussa Dembele (Olympique Lyon)

Moussa Dembele could be the striker Manchester United are looking for.

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was Manchester United's temporary boss, the Red Devils averaged more than two goals per game. However, they have managed to garner only 0.86 goals per game since their memorable victory in Paris Saint-Germain in last season's UEFA Champions League.

The Norwegian always spoke about the importance of taking the game to the opposition at full-throttle. However, Solskjaer is now being criticised for a pessimistic brand of football and the lack of a secondary plan when they struggle to penetrate opposition's defence. Lyon forward Moussa Dembele could solve these issues.

Romelu Lukaku singlehandedly won games against Arsenal, Southampton, and Paris Saint-Germain last season. The Belgian's strength and his hold-up play gave opponents plenty to think about. Physicality, aerial prowess, and goalscoring ability; the former Celtic forward has it all and is a different player compared to Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

During his debut season with Lyon, the striker managed to find the back of the net on 20 occasions from 46 appearances. He picked up from where he left last season with six goals in 10 outings this campaign and could be the strike United need to turn their season around.
