Arsenal target Thomas Lemar scores a SCREAMER for France
Arsenal were in the hunt for Monaco star Lemar over the summer.
On deadline day, they submitted a £92million bid for the 21-year-old who ended up snubbing a move to the Emirates.
Arsene Wenger was desperately scrambling for a potential replacement for Alexis Sanchez, who came close to joining Manchester City.
And according to the Sunday Mirror, United have now set their sights on signing Lemar.
The report suggests the player’s advisors have been informed Mourinho is keen to bring him to Old Trafford.

Mourinho was eager to bring in a wide player during the summer window.
However, a move for Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic stalled.
The news will no doubt come as a bit of a body blow to Wenger, who wants a suitable replacement in the event Sanchez should leave.
