Manchester United have withdrawn their interest in FC Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, according to a report in Spain.
The initial report reveals that Manchester United were keeping an eye on Dembele as a potential alternative to Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils were eyeing a fresh bid for the France international in the coming weeks in the event that a deal for Sancho was too difficult to achieve.
It was reported by the Spanish Media Outlet Sport that the 20-time English champions were prepared to pay €50m (£43m) for the French forward as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked to sign a right-winger.
But the report reveals that Dembele’s injury at the European championship has prompted Manchester United to end their interest in the France international.
Sport reveals that the FC Barcelona star has been forced to undergo surgery on his knee to rule the 24-year-old out of action for a number of months.
The France star has scored 30 times in 118 games in all competitions over the past four seasons at Camp Nou.
Manchester United haven’t completed any signings in the 2021 summer transfer window so far.
