Manchester United could offer Antoine Semenyo his preferred number 24 shirt in a bid to lure him in during the January transfer window.
The Red Devils are reportedly looking to sign the Ghana international and Bournemouth star this winter. Semenyo, 25, has netted six goals and provided three assists in just 11 Premier League matches this season.

The Athletic has also reported that Liverpool and Manchester City are leading the chase for his signature, with both teams likely more enticing to most players at present.
