Manchester United missed out on signing their top transfer target for the current winter transfer window but they have since moved on to another target according to the Daily Mail.

The Red Devils were beaten to the signing of top target Erling Haaland by German club Borussia Dortmund.

The young Norwegian international striker left Austrian Bundesliga champions Red Bull Salzburg to sign for the Germans at the expense of Manchester United who were ready to offer him more money.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are now after Lyon striker Moussa Dembele who has scored 10 goals in 16 league outings.

Moussa Dembele is the joint topscorer in the French Ligue 1 this season and the Frenchman is rated £68m.

French international Anthony Martial has been the central striker for Manchester United this season and he has scored five goals in 13 league games since scoring in two successive league outings at the start of the season.

Martial could move back to the wings if the Red Devils sign Moussa Dembele.

How Man United XI Will Line Up With Moussa Dembele: David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Fred, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba; Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Moussa Dembele.
