Lyon president Jean-MIchel Aulas says Mousa Dembele will not leave the club this summer.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old striker, who scored 23 goals last season.

"Moussa Dembele will not leave. The team was made for him. We recruited according to him," Aulas said according to Le Parisien.

"He becomes the number one striker, which he was not totally last season. It is not a question of money, it is a question of ambition."

He added: "Moussa is part of the project just like [sporting director] Juninho or others. We want him to succeed and to reach the France team while playing for Lyon.

"We have a great deal of confidence in his capabilities and potential."
