Manchester United will reportedly look to sign a player like Amad Diallo for the wing-back slots in the winter transfer window, with Antoine Semenyo a top target.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Antoine Semenyo is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on reinforcing their wide berths by signing a productive attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Bournemouth winger has emerged as a target for them.

The latest report has revealed that the struggling Premier League giants want a player like Amad Diallo for the wing-back berths, as Ruben Amorim and his coaches want “the flexibility to use Amad as a No.10 on occasion, which heightens the need for additional wide options and greater tactical versatility” in the first-team squad. So, Semenyo is a viable target for Manchester United.

What has Antoine Semenyo done in the Premier League?

Antoine Semenyo has established himself as one of the most eye-catching players in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023. The London-born winger did not take long to find his feet at the Vitality Stadium, and he has made significant progress in the last three years.

The 25-year-old was exceptional in the 2024/25 season, and he has been solid in the new campaign, amassing six goals and three assists in 11 Premier League appearances thus far. Meanwhile, Semenyo’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs. Manchester United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature next year.

Will Manchester United sign Semenyo?

Manchester United’s interest in Antoine Semenyo makes sense. The Red Devils heavily reinforced their offensive unit by signing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko in the summer transfer window. However, they need more firepower for the second half of the 2025/26 season, as Mbeumo will leave for the Africa Cup of Nations in a few weeks.

So, Semenyo has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United. However, the Ghanaian international will not only bolster the offensive unit at Old Trafford, as the struggling Premier League giants view him as an option for the wing-back berths, particularly when Amad Diallo reprises the no. 10 role. The London-born winger’s release clause of £65 million makes him an enticing target.

Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Manchester United may have a secret weapon to beat other bigwigs in the race to sign the 25-year-old attacker, as Bournemouth technical director Simon Francis is a lifelong Red Devil. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the £65 million-rated attacker.
