According to transfer insider Dean Jones, Manchester United target Moussa Dembele would be a "really good" signing for Erik ten Hag.
Since replacing Ralf Rangnick in the Old Trafford dugout, the Dutchman has made two defensive additions, but the United manager has yet to bolster his attacking options, with Dembele on the club's list.
What is the most recent Dembele news?
According to Media Foot Marseille, if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the club, the Red Devils may pursue a move for the ex-Fulham and Celtic star.
Ronaldo wants to leave after they failed to qualify for the Champions League, but he's seen Chelsea and Bayern Munich pull out of the race, limiting his options.
Regardless of whether the Portugal international leaves, United may still need to bring in a striker after Edinson Cavani left earlier this summer, leaving Ronaldo as the club's only out and out number nine.

What did Manchester United pay to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo?
Dembele has only made two Premier League appearances, but he's a proven goalscorer in Europe, having scored 137 goals in spells with Fulham, Celtic, and Lyon, and Jones believes the 26-year-old would be a good fit.
What did Jones think of Dembele?
When asked if he thought Dembele would be a good signing for Manchester United, he told GIVEMESPORT: "Dembele would be a really good one for Man Utd, he could really add a different dynamic to that attack."
Last season, how did Dembele fare?
Lyon may not have qualified for any form of European competition after finishing eighth, but the striker had one of the best seasons of his career.
Dembele was the French team's joint-third best player, according to WhoScored, with a rating of 7.21, which was also higher than anyone in the United squad.
Dembele scored an impressive 21 goals in Ligue 1 this season, the first time he's reached 20 league strikes in a single season, surpassing his previous best of 17 during his first season at Celtic.
Dembele may have little Premier League experience, but he's scored goals wherever he's gone, and with The Sun reporting that he could be available for as little as £10 million with a year left on his contract, Ten Hag couldn't do much worse.
