Man United target Dembele rules out Lyon exit

Lyon striker Moussa Dembele has ruled out a summer exit amid suggestions that Manchester United want to sign the France Under-21 international ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

United are said to have identified the 22-year-old as a possible summer arrival, while Liverpool and Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the former Celtic forward.

Dembele, however, still has four years left to run on his contract with Les Gones and has revealed that he will be staying in France beyond the end of this summer's transfer window.

"I still have four years left on my contract, I will be in Lyon next season," Dembele told reporters.

The striker, who is currently representing his country at the Under-21 European Championships, scored 20 times in 45 appearances for Lyon last season.
