United have been linked with a move to sign the Premier League duo in the new year as Ruben Amorim plans the next phase of his rebuild at Old Trafford.
Guehi will enter the final six months of his contract with Crystal Palace in January and could be signed for a lower price. The England international could also move as a free agent this summer.
Semenyo’s scintillating performances for Bournemouth have attracted interest from suitors. United were among the teams to inquire about the 25-year-old in the summer, before Semenyo signed a new contract with the Cherries. However, that deal contains a £65 million release clause that could be activated in the winter window.
Despite admiration for both players, BBC journalist Simon Stone has cast doubt on the signing of both stars at Manchester United.
He believes Liverpool – who saw a deadline-day move collapse for the player this summer – remain frontrunners to sign Guehi if he remains in English football. Semenyo, meanwhile, is considered too expensive given United’s summer spending and options in attacking areas.
“Guehi’s feels like a good idea, but he was so close to signing for Liverpool this summer that if he stays in the Premier League, Anfield is where I expect him to go,” he said.
“As for Semenyo, who has spent £200 million on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha – and now Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes can also play in the number 10 roles, I just don’t see that happening. The priority will be in other areas, I think.”
