Rumour Reel: Dembele to Man Utd while Barca eye Clyne and Rooney edges towards exit

Coral’s Rumour Reel

As 35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic begins to show his age and Wayne Rooney continuing to occupy a place on the bench, it appears Jose Mourinho is preparing for life without them, with Celtics’ Moussa Dembele to Manchester United linked in today’s back pages.

Dembele has caught the eye since his move to Scotland this summer, and is now attracting interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.

Dembele to Man Utd

Old Trafford scouts reportedly attended Celtic’s match against Ross County in Dingwall on Wednesday night to see Hoops move seven points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The 20-year-old Frenchman started on the bench in a widely changed starting lineup. However, coming on with 32 minutes remaining, Dembele tapped home an injury time strike to register his 15th of the season in all competitions.

Mourinho is reportedly reassessing his striking options in Manchester and a move for the highly rated Bhoys forward could be in the offing come summer.

Dembele has also shown he can perform at the highest level of European football, scoring twice against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Catalan club chase Clyne?

Since Dani Alves’ departure at Barcelona, the Catalan club have struggled to replace him – attempting to convert winger Aleix Vidal to a full back.
