Few Premier League players are as sought after as Antoine Semenyo. The Ghanaian winger has sparkled in the world’s toughest league. Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are three of the big clubs fighting for the transfer Bournemouth cannot stop. Now it is reported that personal terms are in place with Liverpool, but Manchester United have all but given up.

According to Teamtalk’s sources , Manchester United are ready with the finances to carry a Semenyo signing, former United star Nani believes Semenyo is best off choosing Man Utd.
“I think any player who has the ability to move forward at speed, dribble, shoot, score goals, assist and just have the overall creativity at the moment, would suit Manchester United. However, we know that when players come to Man United, it is completely different. It’s a different environment, a different pressure, a different mentality, a different job, and then they have to adapt. I hope that if we get Semenyo, he can bring his attitude, with this mentality, and he can put all his talent on the pitch and help the team,” Nani told Metro.
According to Teamtalk , United see Semenyo as a player who can have the profile to thrive as a wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system, and do it on the other flank that Amad Diallo has done so well on the right.
