Manchester United are reportedly preparing a January bid for Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo as doubts grow over Patrick Dorgu's suitability for the left-wing role.
Manchester United are considering a £65 million January swoop for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo as manager Ruben Amorim seeks to address ongoing issues on the left flank, sources reveal.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian international has caught United's attention with his seven Premier League goals this season, including a strike in Bournemouth's thrilling 4-4 draw against the Red Devils last Monday. With his release clause activating in January, Semenyo fits United's revised recruitment strategy of pursuing Premier League-proven talent.
"Semenyo's versatility and direct style make him an ideal candidate to solve United's left-side problems," a club insider noted.
The potential move comes amid growing concerns about Patrick Dorgu, United's £30 million signing from Lecce in January 2025. The Danish winger has started just two of United's last ten matches, with staff reportedly believing he was "overexposed" too quickly in his Old Trafford career.
This pursuit continues United's recent pattern of targeting established Premier League performers, following summer acquisitions of Matheus Cunha (£62.5m from Wolves) and Bryan Mbeumo. Diogo Dalot's recent form at left-back (1 goal, 2 assists in 4 games) provides short-term relief, but Amorim clearly wants a permanent solution.
With the January window approaching, all eyes will be on whether United trigger Semenyo's clause as they look to bolster their Champions League qualification push.
