Manchester United are among the sides who admire Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, despite their interest in Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, according to a report from Sky Sports.
The Red Devils are pushing to bring in reinforcements early in the summer transfer window, with Mbeumo a key target for United. They are set to make an improved offer for the Cameroonian attacker, with Sky Sports claiming that he's giving his priority to the Manchester club despite potential interest from elsewhere.
United have already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves as Ruben Amorim and his recruitment team aim to improve their options in the final third. It was a disastrous season for United, failing to lift a trophy while finishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

According to a report from Sky Sports, Manchester United remain interested in signing Bournemouth forward Semenyo, despite their pursuit of Mbeumo ongoing. Mbeumo appears to be the priority target for the Red Devils, but they are also keen on Semenyo, who could cost £70m, as they aim to transform their attack in the summer transfer window.

It will be interesting to see if United do press ahead with a move to sign Semenyo, described as a 'superstar' by journalist Josh Wyatt, if they secure the signature of Mbeumo. Cunha has already joined the club, meaning we could see three versatile attackers making their way to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
The likes of Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Marcus Rashford were all sent out on loan in January, so Amorim's side could be eyeing three replacements. Alejandro Garnacho's future has also come into question, with United reportedly willing to allow him to depart this summer. United struggled immensely this season when it came to creating and converting chances, so it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see them look to completely revamp their attacking options over the coming months.
