Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Rennes starlet Ousmane Dembele.

The Daily Mail is reporting the Red Devils were among five Premier League clubs who sent scouts to watch Rennes' Ligue 1 clash with Lyon on Sunday night.

Arsenal, West Ham United, Southampton and Stoke City are the other clubs reportedly interested in the 18-year-old, who has been touted as one of the best young prospects in French football.

Dembele set up Rennes' first goal in the 2-2 draw, and has found the back of the net of his own accord on nine occasions this season.

It is understood Barcelona and Bayern Munich are the favourites to land the rising star during the summer transfer window, with the Catalans reportedly having already tabled a £27million bid.
