Manchester United are hoping to sign Sean Longstaff and Moussa Dembele in January.
A slow start to the season has left the Red Devils in tenth on the Premier League.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to top up his squad when the transfer window opens this winter.
And the Daily Star claims Newcastle midfielder Longstaff and Lyon striker Dembele are at the top of Solskjaer's wishlist.
Transfers chief Ed Woodward is currently gathering a combined total of £90m to sign both players.
United have also shown an interest in Declan Rice, but have been blown away by West Ham's £80m valuation.
