Manchester United have announced the loan signing of French striker Ousmane Dembélé from Barcelona, with the player set to join Monaco on a season-long loan deal.

The move is a significant one for both clubs, as Monaco has been looking to strengthen its attack this transfer window and Manchester United has been keen to add depth to its squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

Dembélé, who was born in France but represents Spain internationally, is a highly-rated forward who has previously played for Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich.

He has scored 28 goals in 74 appearances for his current club, and will be hoping to make an impact at Monaco under the guidance of head coach Vahid Halilhodžić.

Meanwhile, Monaco has been boosted by the arrival of Dembélé, who will provide competition for their top attacking options such as Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva.

The move also allows Monaco to continue to build its youth academy, which has produced some of Europe's best young talents in recent years, while also providing an opportunity for Dembélé to gain valuable experience in a high-quality league.

Overall, the move looks like a smart one for both Manchester United and Monaco, and could see Dembélé make a big impact in the coming months.
