RUMOURS: Mourinho has found his 'new Didier Drogba'

The Manchester United manager is looking to firm up interest in Celtic star Moussa Dembele, who he scouted three times last season, but a January move is unlikely

Jose Mourinho is keen to bring Celtic star Moussa Dembele to Manchester United as he feels he could be the next Didier Drogba.

The Daily Mail report the manager scouted the young striker three times last season before the player left Fulham for the Scottish giants, with United running the rule over him again on Monday during a France Under-21 outing.

Celtic, though, will not entertain a January exit for Dembele, who has scored three goals in four Champions League games this term, with the player sharing similar reluctance to leave so soon.

Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern are all also understood to be tracking the 20-year-old, while Tottenham missed out on a move last January.
