Manchester United are ready to battle Tottenham Hotspur to sign Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo to bolster their attack this summer. The Red Devils have prioritised the attacking department under Ruben Amorim’s first summer window as the manager of the club.
United have already signed Matheus Cunha and are closing in on Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo to completely change the attack. The Red Devils are targeting players who have proved themselves in the Premier League recently and add quality with contributions.
United finished 16th last season due to the team’s failure to adjust to Amorim’s tactical style of play and demands. However, the poor form of United’s attacking department was visible long before Amorim joined and succeeded manager Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United are ready to battle Tottenham Hotspur to sign Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo.
Under Amorim, high-waged attackers like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are already set as surplus to requirements at United. At the same time, the former Sporting CP boss has put Alejandro Garnacho up for sale, showing ruthlessness to succeed.
According to Sky Sports, United are ready to battle Tottenham to sign Bournemouth star Semenyo and add more attacking quality. In April, the Mirror reported that Bournemouth have put a £70m price tag on Semenyo after many Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Man United, showed interest in the attacker.
With Dean Huijsen joining Real Madrid from Bournemouth, the Cherries have already made a considerable profit this summer. As they are in no rush to sell any more top assets, it is a daunting task to lure Semenyo.
There is a question of how much money United can spend in a single department, considering their recent financial problems. The Red Devils need a squad overhaul as there are many glaring vulnerabilities in many areas of the squad.

Nevertheless, Semenyo’s quality and his consistency speak for themselves, making him a fantastic potential asset for United. The potential of pairing Semenyo with Cunha and Mbeumo is a mouth-watering prospect for United fans and a strong statement.
