Manchester United is monitoring Ghana national team player Antoine Semenyo.
The winger, who plays for Bournemouth, has been impressive this season with his speed, goal-scoring instinct, and versatility. The Red Devils believe his dynamism could add a lot to their squad.
The January transfer window was quiet for Manchester United, as they only signed two players. At the same time, they sent Antony and Marcus Rashford on loan. With limited attacking options, it is expected that the club will focus on strengthening this area in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Reports indicate that United plans to focus on signing players who can make an immediate impact while also offering long-term value to the club. The 25-year-old Antoine Semenyo fits this profile perfectly. So far this season, Semenyo has made 26 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 4 assists. In total, he has played 67 Premier League matches, scoring 16 goals and registering 5 assists.
Semenyo is also a versatile player. While his primary position is right wing, he is also capable of playing on the left wing and as a center-forward. Additionally, he is a physically strong player and poses a significant threat to defenders in one-on-one situations with his direct style of play. His defensive work rate is also commendable for a winger.
The player has a contract with Bournemouth until 2029, which means his transfer fee could exceed United’s initial budget. However, considering the potential he offers, it can be argued that this investment is relatively low-risk.
