Mour heat on Lemar

- BY JOHN RICHARDSON

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to hijack Arsenal’s £92million bid for Thomas Lemar.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger came close to snatching the 21-year-old Monaco forward on transfer deadline day.

Arsenal will be back in for Lemar in January or next summer – but this time they will have United boss Jose Mourinho for company.

United will have to match the £92m Arsenal offered for the Frenchman, breaking the record £89m they paid for Paul Pogba.

Mourinho’s interest has been noted by advisers for the player, who recently scored twice for France in their World Cup qualifier against Holland.
