Manchester United wants to strengthen itself broadly, given the lack of quality that Ruben Amorim currently has.
Noussair Mazraoui is more of a traditional full-back than a full-back, while Patrick Dorgu remains a raw talent in need of further grooming.
Diogo Dalot is neither here nor there. Amad fits into the head coach’s system because of his attacking talents and his defensive dedication.
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo also fits the bill, with the Ghanaian being devastating in attack as evidenced by his six goals this season.
Antoine Semenyo receives the offer from United
He can play as an attacking midfielder or full-back, a position he has held in the past. As relayed by Team conversationThe Red Devils are genuinely interested in completing a deal for the 25-year-old in January.
A contract proposal has already been submitted to the Ghanaian international’s agent after a secret meeting took place between club officials and the player’s entourage.
However, as things stand, Liverpool appear to be in pole position. “According to sources, Manchester United have made a move for Antoine Semenyo by presenting a contract offer to his agent.
“Reports confirm that a meeting took place on Wednesday between United officials and the agent, demonstrating their interest.
Liverpool in pole position
“However, it is important to note that United are not the frontrunners for his signature. Discussions are still ongoing, but Liverpool are currently leading the race and have made the most progress in negotiations.”
The twenty-time English league champions have a few aces up their sleeve, with Bournemouth technical director Simon Frances being a United fan.
The executive branch is expected to press United’s case more fervently. Furthermore, Semenyo’s former coach and close assistant, Dean Holden, has already pledged to help the Old Trafford side land the Premier League superstar.
United must act quickly to avoid losing
Whether INEOS will have the money in January remains to be seen. Antoine Semenyo has a release clause of around £65 million in his contract, which could be activated in the early stages of the January window.
In the summer this amount will drop to £50 million. However, United cannot afford to wait that long given Liverpool’s presence in the race.
