Premier League Club Send Scouts To Watch Celtic's Dembele

He may have only recently moved North of the border, but Celtic's Moussa Dembele is a wanted man in England, again and is now being monitored by Manchester United's scouts.

The young Frenchman has already found the back of the net 14 times since joining the Bhoys from Fulham in the Summer, including a hat-trick in his first Old Firm derby and then the winning goal in his second one, this past Sunday.

So it's no wonder Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen on him. United scout Stephen McCarthy was left disappointed, however, when he realised Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers had rested Dembele against Ross County, instead opting to start Leigh Griffiths up front. Perhaps Rodgers' loyalty to Liverpool runs too deep to allow his star player to be snared away to Old Trafford.
