Transfer update: Solskjaer prepare £40 million offer to land Romelu Lukaku replacement

Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly plotting a move for Moussa Dembele. Solskjaer is desperate to overhaul his failing squad at Old Trafford after a dismal end to the season in which United managed just two wins in their final 12 matches. According to The Sun, Lyon forward Dembele is among the players Solskjaer has proposed to the board and it’s claimed that United are plotting a £40 million offer to land Dembele as a possible replacement for Romelu Lukaku with the latter yet to convince Solskjaer. Dembele has notched up 14 goals and four assists in Ligue 1 since completing a £20m switch from Lyon to Celtic last August.
