Manchester United are reportedly looking to strengthen their attacking options by targeting Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. According to sources, the club is exploring the possibility of bringing the 25-year-old Ghanaian international to Old Trafford in an upcoming transfer window.
Semenyo has been a key figure at Bournemouth since joining from Bristol City, earning praise for his pace, dribbling ability, and willingness to press opponents. His performances have attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, and Manchester United appear to have identified him as a player who could add depth and versatility to their forward line.
In addition to pursuing Semenyo, Manchester United are reportedly planning changes to their squad’s shirt numbers. If the transfer goes through, the club is said to be considering assigning Semenyo the jersey number currently worn by goalkeeper André Onana. The Cameroonian shot-stopper, who joined United from Inter Milan, has been the first-choice goalkeeper, but discussions around squad numbers may suggest a reshuffling in the team’s hierarchy or a reassignment to accommodate new arrivals.
Manchester United’s reported interest in Semenyo aligns with the club’s broader transfer strategy of bringing in dynamic attacking players capable of contributing both offensively and defensively. The winger’s profile fits manager Erik ten Hag’s tactical philosophy, which emphasizes high pressing and rapid attacking transitions.
While no official offer has been made public, speculation continues to grow as the next transfer window approaches. Semenyo’s current contract with Bournemouth extends beyond this season, so a potential transfer would likely require a significant fee.
As Manchester United look to rebound from a mixed start to their campaign, adding quality players like Semenyo could prove crucial in the push for higher league standings and competition success. Fans and analysts will be watching closely for further developments as the January transfer window draws nearer.
Neither Manchester United nor Bournemouth have commented publicly on the reported interest.
