Manchester United are reportedly leading the chase for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, fending off interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool.
According to Sky Sports, United are ready to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season, with Semenyo seen as a perfect fit for Ruben Amorim’s dynamic system. The 25-year-old has impressed with his pace, power, and versatility, making him a standout performer in the Cherries’ frontline.
From Bristol City to Premier League Breakout
Semenyo arrived at Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023 for just £10.5 million and has since blossomed into a key figure. This season alone, he’s racked up 10 goals and 6 assists in 37 appearances, showcasing his ability to deliver in the top flight.
Primarily a left-winger, Semenyo’s flexibility allows him to operate on either flank or even lead the line—a quality that makes him even more appealing to top clubs.
Amorim Eyes Semenyo as Key to New-Look United Attack
With Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony all potentially heading for the exit, Manchester United are planning a major attacking reshuffle. Amorim is reportedly pushing hard for Semenyo, viewing him as an ideal piece in his attacking puzzle.
Liverpool are monitoring the situation, especially with doubts over Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz, but United remain in pole position.
Bournemouth won’t let their star leave without a fight. Valued at £70 million, a deal could be structured with performance-based add-ons—similar to Dominic Solanke’s recent move to Spurs.
