Manchester United are in talks behind the scenes to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, the player's agent has told Africa Foot.
The Cherries forward is establishing himself as a top Premier League forward on the south coast and according to the report, he has now emerged as one of Ruben Amorim's priority signings for the summer transfer window as United look to boost their forward options.

According to Africa Foot, United have officially entered the race to sign Semenyo and are secretly working on a deal behind closed doors.
The Red Devils are in talks over a deal for the African attacker - described as being an "absolute star" by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp - presently, and they are ready to offer £33.5m for his services, although Bournemouth want £42m.
The report adds that INEOS are also considering offering the 25-year-old a five-year deal with the option of a further year, showing their belief in the player for their project.
Chelsea have also made an enquiry for Semenyo, who has been in impressive form in the Premier League in 2024-25.

Semenyo would add a versatile option to Amorim's frontline as he has played in a variety of positions for Bournemouth, including on both wings and even as a centre-forward on occasions.
In Amorim's 3-4-3 system, you'd expect the Ghana international to either fill one of the roles behind the main striker or maybe even as a wing-back as the likes of Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho have adapted to play in.
