Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United have identified Antoine Semenyo as a priority target for the winter transfer window.
After an inconsistent start to the season, Ruben Amorim has finally managed to steady the ship at Manchester United. Now the Portuguese manager is thinking about potential winter signings that could help him build on their recent results.
The Red Devils are looking to further bolster their attack by signing another world-class forward in January. According to a report from Fichajes, United have identified Antoine Semenyo as a top target, having scouted him for weeks.
After a successful stint at Bristol City, Semenyo joined the Cherries at the start of 2023, and he hasn’t looked back since. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he is also widely regarded as one of the best right-wingers in the Premier League.
Manchester United are keen on Semenyo’s signature
The 25-year-old has made a sensational start to the new season with six goals and three assists in his 12 league outings. His performances have attracted a lot of interest, and Manchester United are one of the clubs that have been keeping tabs on him.
His ability to take on defenders, his overall work rate and exceptional finishing make him an ideal fit for Amorim’s team. While he prefers playing on the right, Semenyo is capable enough to feature anywhere in attack. His versatility makes him a great option for the Portuguese manager.
The Red Devils are believed to be the most likely destination for the 25-year-old, as they are willing to make a significant investment to secure his services. Meanwhile, Bournemouth do not want to lose out on one of their most important players.
Bournemouth won’t let him leave with ease
The Cherries tied him down to a new deal that runs until 2030 during the last summer window. As a result, they will certainly have the upper hand in negotiations, making things very difficult for Amorim’s team.
Bournemouth will do everything in their power to ensure he continues at the club at least until the end of the season. It certainly seems to be an uphill task for United as they have to convince a rival club and might even have to battle some top clubs to sign the 25-year-old.
