"Manchester United are still very keen on Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo after first targeting him during the summer transfer window. As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, the Ghana international is emerging as a top target for the Red Devils, and their interest is understood to be stronger than Liverpool's, despite some rumours to the contrary. Semenyo has started this season in sensational form, contributing a total of nine goals and assists in his first seven Premier League games."
"United pushed for Semenyo in the summer, but it seems they were unconvinced about Bournemouth's asking price at the time. Even though the 25-year-old's price will only have gone up since then, it now seems that MUFC are happier to table a big bid for the player. As one source put it to me, United now recognise it would be well worth paying big money for Semenyo."
"Semenyo will surely have other suitors if he carries on playing like this, so that could make things tricky for a United side who can't offer European football. For now, it seems Liverpool aren't planning more attacking signings after spending big in that position in the summer. Still, it will be interesting to keep an eye on what the other big clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham decide to do."
Manchester United have renewed interest in Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo after targeting him in the summer. The Ghana international has nine combined goals and assists in his first seven Premier League games, elevating his transfer value. United previously pursued Semenyo but balked at Bournemouth's asking price; the club now appears willing to submit a significant offer. Semenyo is viewed as a potential upgrade on current United attacking options. Strong ongoing form is likely to draw interest from other top clubs, and United’s lack of European football could complicate any move.
