Manchester United have reportedly set their sights on signing Antoine Semenyo, with the club now in talks with the player’s representatives ahead of the January transfer window. The Ghana international is understood to have a £65 million release clause, making any potential deal a significant investment.
Softfootball gathered from sources that Liverpool had previously been in advanced talks over Semenyo’s signature. However, Manchester United who Bournemouth Stuned with Incredible Three-Time Comeback in 4-4 Old Trafford Thriller have now emerged strongly in the race, signaling their intent to bolster their attacking options.
United’s interest is believed to be driven by the absence of key attacking players due to the Africa Cup of Nations. With Bryan Mbeumo unavailable during AFCON, the Red Devils are keen to add a forward who can immediately inject pace, power, and creativity into the attack during a crucial part of the season.
On paper, a move for Semenyo could significantly strengthen United’s frontline. Should the deal materialize and Mbeumo return after the Nations Cup, United’s attack could become far more explosive and dynamic.
However, uncertainty remains around the club’s managerial situation. There are growing doubts over whether current head coach Rúben Amorim who had praised Bruno Fernandes’ Leadership and Honesty will oversee this potential rebuild, with speculation suggesting Manchester United could make changes in the dugout if results do not improve.
As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see whether United push ahead with the Semenyo deal and how it shapes their short-term and long-term ambitions.
