# Manchester United: Club denies any interest in Ousmane Dembele

**It had been reported by [Duncan Castles](https://twitter.com/DuncanCastles?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1308361260606648320%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.footballtransfertavern.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D319553action%3Dedit) that Manchester United were in talks with Barcelona for Ousmane Dembélé. [Castles](https://twitter.com/DuncanCastles/status/1308344713897017344?s=20) said United have proposed a season-long loan but Barcelona would only agree to that if an obligation to buy is included.**

However the latest news from [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano) seems to suggest that this is not the case as the respected journalist has [reported](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano), via [utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1308400245865353219?s=20), that both the Red Devils and the La Liga giants are denying that talks have taken place for the player and are saying that no bid has been made.

The winger, who was [part of the French World Cup-winning squad](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ousmane-dembele/erfolge/spieler/288230) in 2018, has a decent scoring record as he has netted 41 goals as well as supplying 44 assists in 153 appearances, per [Transfermarkt.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ousmane-dembele/verletzungen/spieler/288230) However, one major worry about him is his injury record, as he has missed 80 games for Barcelona since the 2017/18 season.

Clearly supporters are happy that the reports of him coming are false following their replies to the tweet, and it is understandable that they do not want to have to buy him following a loan with his injury history, especially when Castles was [reporting](https://twitter.com/DuncanCastles/status/1308344713897017344?s=20) that they would have to pay around £91 million for him.

Here is what fans said following the news:
