According to Caught offsideManchester United are willing to pay big money to sign Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.
The Red Devils strengthened their attack with the arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko during the summer transfer window.
Mbeumo and Sesko have already scored several times for Man United. Cunha has yet to find the back of the net, but has also impressed.
Caught offside are now claiming that the Red Devils are planning to further strengthen their forward department and have their sights set on landing Semenyo.
Man United were unconvinced this summer that Semenyo’s price tag would be enough, but are now prepared to spend big during his fantastic start to the new season.
Top class
Semenyo had a good 2024/25 season with the Cherries, registering 13 goals and 7 assists from 42 appearances in all competitions. The Ghanaian has started the new season much better. He has contributed nine goals in just eight games for the South Coast outfit.
In addition to his goal involvement, he has also worked hard defensively. Semenyo won 7 matches per performance in addition to 6 recoveries and 2 tackles. At 25, Semenyo has entered the peak phase of his career and United could be willing to spend a premium fee to bring him to Old Trafford next year.
Semenyo has the ability to operate on the left wing, right wing or as a false number nine. He could play as a wide number 10 or as a frontrunner for the Red Devils. United were put off by Bournemouth £70 million price tag for the winger last summer. The Cherries could demand a slightly higher fee to clear his sale, possibly at the end of the current campaign.
As things stand, the Red Devils don’t face much competition for his services. According to Caught offsideLiverpool may not revive their search for Semenyo after a spending spree of more than £400 million in the last window. United still need to be proactive in their bid to sign the player as Arsenal could join the race given their need for another top left striker.
