Nah, unfortunately they've gone for Amiens vs Guingamp and Caen vs Bordeaux instead.
Understandable choices tbf, must be hard picking games when you have so many footballing heavyweights playing on the same night.
Moussa Dembele

He looks very quick and a good dribbler. His finishing looks terrific as well.
His overall play would be a vast improvement on Lukaku no doubt. But that’s a pretty low bar.
And maybe he could make the step up here, but he’d be a pretty underwhelming signing considering some of the other options available.
That said, at least we wouldn’t be going with Rashy up top next season.
It'd be a bit of a travesty to not give Martial a go as striker if the Lukaku goes, if he gets his head right he could easily be a level better player than this lad, and we would also have the added benifit of a new first choice left winger at the same time.
Pogba proven
Yes a real travesty not to bend over backwards for a player like Martial and his terrible attitude .
If Martial wants on the pitch in any position he needs to grow up and earn it
We're certainly exploring some interesting avenues this summer, with Dembele and a string of championship kids.
However, the only thing that really matters is how they play once they get here.

This guy isn’t better than Lukaku.
We should be better and more ruthless than that. feck waiting for him to get his act together.We’re are Manchester Utd not Sunderland.
Pep would tell him get his act together or piss off
Surprising as I’m pretty sure the last few times I checked them out he has only come on as a sub and Depay was upfront flanked by Traore and Terrier or whatever his name is.
But We’ve been linked with him since the days of Fergie and his time at Fulham so who knows what’s going on.
It would be a travesty if we go into the next season with Martial/Rashford as our only strikers and hope they magically turn good which they won't.
Well of course, but we have a underperforming highly talented player sat on a fat long contract, so something needs to be done, I for one have never been convinced he's a winger, and have been frustrated he's constantly overlooked for the striker position, which in reality he might be crap at, but he's sure got all the tools for it if he gets his head sorted out.
I remember he was excellent at Celtic a couple of years ago. Wouldn't be a bad signing.
That's true... Sane has 10 goals and 10 assists in the PL and he's still not Pep's go to guy. How much better is Sane compared to Martial? Martial may have the talent but lacks the drive to succeed or make it big. Martial and Rashford can't be depended upon. They go missing in games more often than not.
I think there are more Moussa Dembele’s than John Smiths...
Pep told Aguero to do more for the team and he responded even though he’d walk into our team on one leg
What the absolute feck was that celebration.
I know which one I’d order in a pub
From?What the absolute feck was that celebration.
10 mins in. Good game. Dembele uninvolved so far.
Ndombele giving the ball away every time. Don't get the hype.

Nimes player.
He's the one who released Depay for their goal from the LW. These lyon players look as if they couldn't give a shit about this match.

Would rather keep Rom too be fair
Nice bit of link up play to set up a half chance. Beat a man easily with a little drop if the shoulder.
Put through by Ndombele. Had to cut back before shooting narrowly wide. Probably would have scored with better first touch. Ball was fired at him to be fair. Very good from Ndombele.
Ndombele has been generally poor though
Very
Does Ndombele have some good YouTube vids or something? Every time I watch him he just gives it away constantly. Despite setting up a chance hes been Nimes best player tonight.
At this point I'm desperately hoping there is in fact a scheme ongoing. Like a behind the scenes masterpiece where somehow Ole is right and Dembele proves to be exactly what Ole wanted and what we all hope he should be.
I know one thing. He is only one year older than Rashford. And has much better stats than him.
2-1 Nimes. Lyon have been poor. Memphis still has a nice right foot but looks just as an unexplosive as when he was here.
Dembele has been on the fringes of the game. Been neat and tidy on the couple of occasions he's had the ball. Reminds me of Chicarito or Andy Cole with some of his runs and movement. Unremarkable overall though in a poor Lyon performance

Selling Lukaku and buying Dembele ahahah....
Find that hard to believe.
No he is not, people just want a new toy.
Decent second half so far. Led the line well, showed good strength. No obvious weaknesses.
To be fair a fit and motivated Lukaku is a terrific player. But he hasn't looked fit for over a year so what are we expected to do? If he doesnt want it enough get someone who does.
When Lukaku was 23/24 he managed to score 25 league goals in a single PL season. The under rating of him is ridiculous.
Ferland Mendy has been a disgrace.
Isnt't he struggled to score goals in the Scottish and French leagues? Seems like a combination of Bellion, Obertan and Depay.
The discussions been done to death but the amount of goals Lukaku scores over a season isn't the reason why he's not good enough (and never will be good enough) for a top team. If this needs repeating then there's just no point discussing it. The combination of the right mentality, talent on the ball, movement, etc. all not there.
