Manchester United’s pursuit of a new right-sided attacker has faced several twists, with their offensive inconsistency in 2024/25 making this summer’s transfer window crucial.
Rasmus Hojlund’s struggles in front of goal and the lack of cutting edge from other forwards have pushed the club to act decisively.
With Matheus Cunha closing in on a move to Old Trafford, attention has turned to who will partner him on the flanks.

Antoine Semenyo has long been a name of interest, viewed internally as a dynamic option to strengthen the right-hand side of the attack.
However, Bournemouth’s £70 million valuation was likely to be a stumbling block for United, who are also keeping financial fair play in mind.
Manchester United recently had a £55 million bid rejected for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, a player considered their top target in the position.
Despite the setback, they are expected to return with an improved offer.
Now, the situation has grown more complex unfortunately for United.
Tottenham Hotspur ramp up efforts to sign Antoine Semenyo
As reported by Sky Sports News, Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their pursuit of Semenyo and are now pushing to beat United to his signature.
Spurs’ growing involvement adds further urgency to the race for the Bournemouth star, who is coming off an impressive season.
The Cameroon international recorded 20 goals and seven assists this league season, without missing a single game.
Sky Sports confirm that United still admire Semenyo and have not pulled out of the race.
However, their parallel chase for Mbeumo complicates their position.

Tottenham, meanwhile, appear to be acting with more clarity and pace.
With Semenyo’s valuation high and Spurs accelerating talks, United may soon have to decide whether to stretch their budget or shift focus entirely.
Especially with the pressure from Ruben Amorim to reshape the attack swiftly.
