Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Bournemouth Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo as new manager Ruben Amorim looks to reshape the squad this summer.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian international, who has scored nine goals and provided five assists this season, has impressed with his pace, power, and work rate, fitting the physical and tactical demands of Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system.
Semenyo’s versatility and defensive contribution—ranking highly in blocks, aerial duels, and tackles—make him an ideal candidate for the wing-back role Amorim prioritizes. His arrival could allow Amad Diallo to return to a more natural attacking role.
Although Bournemouth value Semenyo at £70 million, a fee initially seen as too high, United’s direct contact with the player suggests serious intent.
With Amorim “very fond” of Semenyo, the club’s pursuit signals a key part of their summer rebuild.
Antoine Semenyo played a pivotal role in Bournemouth’s best-ever Premier League season in 2024–25, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists in 35 appearances.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian winger also created 46 chances and registered 39 shots on target, impressing with his pace, power, and relentless work ethic.
His all-around contribution, including 940 passes and 68 fouls, made him a key figure in Andoni Iraola’s 4-4-2 system.
Semenyo standout performances have attracted interest from top clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, as he continues to emerge as one of the league’s most dynamic wide players.
