Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is very fond of Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein.
The Red Devils suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United yesterday and the 2024-25 campaign will be their worst in Premier League history regardless of what happens in their final six games.
A lack of a clinical finisher has proven very costly for Man United and they could do with a player like Semenyo within their ranks, but they will need more than £65 million to have a chance of landing the 25-year-old Ghana international.
The Cherries star has ten goals and six assists across all competitions this term after ending last term with eight goals and three assists in 33 league appearances.
Semenyo can play on both wings and as a striker, with his strength and work rate some of the other features he possesses that would have attracted Amorim to him.
Man United need to improve significantly in attack having scored just 38 league goals so far, and their Portuguese boss is set to strengthen his team in the summer as he prepares for his first full season in charge.
Signing the versatile Bournemouth attacker could make a huge difference, but he is not the only player on their radar and they need to be sure they land the perfect forward for their current system if their fortunes on the pitch are to improve anytime soon.
A major squad overhaul could be needed if the Red Devils want to start firing on all cylinders again and return to the top of English and European football, and the onus is on Amorim to ensure things get better next season.
