Lille manager Christopher Galtier has fuelled the transfer rumours linking star player Boubakary Soumare with a move to the Premier League this month.

The 20-year-old Frenchman has been touted as a possible transfer addition for both Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Ahead of the league game at home to French champions Paris Saint Germain (PSG) on Sunday evening, Lille manager Christopher Galtier hinted to reporters that he’s not sure of Boubakary Soumare and his future at Lille.

The Lille boss is not certain that he’ll retain the services of Soumare at the end of this January winter window.

The Manchester United links to Soumare has been more prevalent in recent days and weeks especially with the thin midfield that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to work with at the club.

Manchester United have lost two key midfielders to injuries since December and they are not expected to return to action in the next weeks.

In the absence of these midfielders namely Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay, Manchester United have struggled a great deal without them.

Manchester United have been linked with a lot of midfielders in this January window especially the duo of Boubakary Soumare and Sporting Lisbon player Bruno Fernandes.
