Man United odds slashed to sign Antoine Semenyo after public confession
Manchester United are among the clubs circling Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window.
City rivals Manchester City are also interested in Semenyo, who has been in terrific form this season for the Cherries.
The winger has scored six goals and provided three assists in just 14 Premier League appearances, despite his and his team’s form slowing of late.
Premier League leaders Arsenal have also entered the race for Semenyo, with the 25-year-old expected to be the subject of several January offers.
Football Insider revealed in November that Semenyo is more likely to leave Bournemouth next summer, however, with his release clause expected to fall.
Antoine Semenyo odds shorten ahead of potential Old Trafford switch
Manchester United are expected to make a big effort to sign Semenyo in January, with the winger seen as the perfect addition to Ruben Amorim‘s front line.
The forward would be expected to compete with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount for a position in the front three, with the latter’s role likely up for grabs.
| Antoine Semenyo | Premier League 2025-26 |
| Appearances | 14 |
| Goals | 6 |
| Assists | 3 |
| Successful dribbles | 23 |
| Duels won | 91 |
Amorim will also have Benjamin Sesko available for selection once the striker returns from injury, although the Slovenia international is yet to find his feet in the Premier League.
But Semenyo would be a signing of the ilk of Cunha and Mbeumo, in the sense that the forward has already proven his ability in the top flight.
In recent weeks, the 25-year-old has struggled amid Bournemouth‘s poor form. Andoni Iraola‘s side have failed to win any of their previous six Premier League fixtures, and will hope to get back on track at Old Trafford on Monday.
One major bookmaker has slashed Semenyo’s odds of joining Manchester United to 5/1, with Liverpool (11/10) still leading the race should the Ghana international leave next month.
Ruben Amorim questioned on Semenyo interest
Amorim will hope that Semenyo is not on form when Bournemouth travel to take on Manchester United on Monday.
The Cherries are unbeaten in three consecutive Premier League visits to Old Trafford, but will undoubtedly be the underdogs given both teams ‘ form.
Speaking ahead of the game, Amorim said: “They have a special player. They have many good players, but they have a special player in Semenyo. [He] can play both sides with both feet.”
“No, it’s not the case,” added the Portuguese coach when questioned on Manchester United’s interest. “I think there is a lot of special players in the league.
“What I feel is that it’s to summarise the top manager, top team. I really like the team and the top player. I think he is a special player.”
