Manchester United are primed to launch an aggressive bid for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo once his £65m release clause activates in January, viewing him as a priority reinforcement and believing they can beat rival interest after tracking his consistent Premier League output. United sense an opening as Semenyo will be available throughout January with Ghana absent from AFCON, while uncertainty over Pep Guardiola’s long term future at Manchester City and Ruben Amorim’s admiration for the versatile forward strengthen Old Trafford’s belief they can win the bidding battle.

Gary Neville praised Ruben Amorim for restoring adventure and entertainment at Manchester United after a chaotic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth, comparing the spectacle to classic Sir Alex Ferguson eras and insisting he can “live with” dropped points when performances are that front-foot and fearless.

Pundits and reports are pushing Manchester United to make Tyler Adams their primary midfield target, arguing he is a better immediate fit than Adam Wharton or Elliot Anderson as Amorim searches for a reliable defensive anchor to reshape his engine room.

Northern interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is intensifying, with Tottenham joining Liverpool and Manchester City in eyeing a January move and closely studying the £65 million release clause that would make the in form Ghana international one of the window’s priciest deals.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim plans talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to delay AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui so he can keep them deeper into December during a packed Premier League and FA Cup run. AFCON rules allow nations to demand players two weeks before their first group games, which could remove the trio around the Wolves match on 8 December, but United are pushing for release after Bournemouth on 15 December to limit the number of fixtures they miss.
