The former United player has enjoyed a career-best spell in Serie A since making his £25 million move last year, most notably winning the MVP award last season as his side lifted the Scudetto. The 28-year-old also scored a stunning overhead kick against Denmark earlier this week to help Scotland qualify for their first World Cup finals since 1998.

I think there is a good chance we'll see Antoine Semenyo moving in the January transfer window. It's not guaranteed, but I would keep it open.

While Dortmund are pushing to get the 23-year-old Germany international to pen a new contract, any agreement currently remains way off. As such, United are continuing to monitor developments with Adeyemi, who has two goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances this season, and has been at the club since July 2022.

What really adds to Semenyo's appeal is the growing sense that he might also be in line for first-choice penalty duties, giving him yet another route to points. With form, fixtures and confidence all lining up, he's not just a decent option but one of the best assets in the game at present.
