Manchester United are reportedly considering launching a bid for Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr before the end of this summer's transfer window.
The 24-year-old's future remains the subject of much speculation, with a number of Premier League clubs said to be keen to bring him back to England's top flight.
Sarr has started the new Championship season in impressive form for the Hornets, contributing one goal and one assist in two matches, but he is still being tipped to leave before the end of the window.
The Senegal international has entered the final two years of his contract at Vicarage Road, meaning that Watford are not in a strong position when it comes to his future.
According to 90min transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey, having cooled their interest in Bologna's Marko Arnautovic, Man United are now weighing up a move for Sarr.

Bailey claims that there is 'a lot of Premier League interest' in the attacker, with Watford facing an uphill battle to keep hold of him following their relegation from the Premier League.
Sarr moved to the Hornets from Rennes in 2019, and he has represented the English club on 94 occasions in all competitions, contributing 25 goals and 19 assists in the process.
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, the attacker has a record of 10 goals and eight assists in 50 appearances, proving that he is capable of having an impact in the top flight.
Sarr's ability to play in a number of different forward positions is believed to make him an attractive proposition for Man United, who need to boost their attack before the end of the transfer window.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still at the club despite the speculation surrounding his future, but it is still possible that he could depart before the end of the transfer window.

Anthony Martial had been set to lead the attack against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday, but the Frenchman missed out due to a hamstring problem.
As a result, summer arrival Christian Eriksen was selected through the middle, with Ronaldo featuring off the bench in the second period of what proved to be a 2-1 loss for the hosts.
Man United had been strongly linked with Red Bull Salzburg's Benjamin Sesko, but the youngster has now agreed to join RB Leipzig next summer.
A move for Antony is also likely to prove too expensive due to Ajax's high asking price, with PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo said to be an alternative to the Brazil international.
Man United remain interested in Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, but the club are also said to be on the verge of bringing in Adrien Rabiot from Juventus.
