Antoine Semenyo Shines as Manchester United Keeps Watch

Continued Success for Semenyo

Antoine Semenyo is enjoying an exceptional start to the current season, drawing attention from Manchester United in the process. On Friday night, he played a vital role in Bournemouth’s comeback victory against Fulham, contributing with two goals and an assist.

Semenyo skillfully equalized from a difficult angle and later clinched the win with another well-executed strike. Bournemouth showed foresight by extending his contract over the summer, securing his services until 2030.

Club’s Stance and Player’s Performance

Sources confirm that his new contract does not include a release clause, yet it might be tested in 2026 as Semenyo continues to excel on the field. This season, he has already netted six goals and provided three assists, propelling the Cherries to second place in the league standings ahead of Saturday’s matches.

Both Tottenham and Manchester United have maintained an interest in Semenyo since the summer transfer window. Despite having recently signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, interest from United remains steady. Insiders suggest that his playing style intrigues them, and some within the club even see potential for him to fill wing-back positions if acquired.

Uncertain Future for Manchester United

The current managerial uncertainty at United has left recruitment plans in a state of flux, with a central midfielder expected to take precedence. However, Semenyo is more likely to be viewed as a target for the end of the season, since Bournemouth is not inclined to part with him in January.

Tottenham plans to monitor his progress throughout the remainder of the season, preparing to engage in any competition for his signature. Additionally, it has been reported that Bayern Munich is also keeping an eye on Semenyo for a potential future move.

Bournemouth hopes to align with the player’s ambitions while simultaneously working to retain Andoni Iraola, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to succeed Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Despite losing key players such as Dean Huijsen, Ilya Zabarnyi, Milos Kerkez, and Dango Ouattaro over the summer, Bournemouth has launched the season with robust performances.
