Manchester United reportedly want to sign Celtic duo Dembele and Tierney (right)
That is despite the Hoops’ determination not to sell either star.
Manchester United were one of a number of clubs interested in Dembele last January, with Chelsea the favourites at the time to sign him.
No deal ever materialised as Celtic put a £40million price tag on his head.
But the Daily Mirror claim United are frontrunners to sign the forward and he is not the only man on their radar.
Left-back Tierney is said to be United’s top choice to replace Luke Shaw at left-back.
The club have been monitoring the Scotland international for some time but the likelihood of Tierney leaving Parkhead seems slim.
The 20-year-old signed a new six-year contract at Celtic on Monday, locking him into Brendan Rodgers’ plans for the foreseeable future.
Tierney gave no indication he was ready to leave the Scottish champions when discussing his new deal.
"I got a long-term deal last year when the manager came in and to have another so soon is brilliant. I still can't believe it," he said.

"It's brilliant to have him [manager Brendan Rodgers] believe in me, he has trusted me since day one.
"I was very young when he came in, I had only played one season in the first team so there was always a doubt that he might bring someone more experienced in, but he has trusted me and I have a lot to thank him for."
